Rough idle, hesitates at start of accel, runs fine
Hi everyone, been here for a while, but I'm struggling to track this one down. I got a rebuild done and wanted to install it myself, I got the engine in the car, and placed new Megan Racing motor mounts in. I ended up having to hand the rest off to a non-rotary specialist shop, and I'm worried something got broken on install, I have a 30 day warranty, but I am self diagnosing at the moment. It seems to hesitate when I try to give her some juice, but seems to cruise on the road fine. CEL for Secondary air injection which I think isn't related but also wasn't there when my car initially went down. It also has a tough idle after warming up a bit, the idle drops hard and then it revs up and revives itself, will start pretty much just fine hot and cold, any ideas where to start? I'm going to look into the coils and sparkplugs today (Don't know how to test wires, NGK installed about 10k ago, 2 years). 2006 mazda rx8 manual. For my dull men's club members, about 3 bananas daily.

Check your vacuum lines.
One might've got knocked off. |
Any idea on how to check vacuum lines specifically? I have a buddy with a smoke tester, but is there a way I can do it myself? Also, other question, any idea on the graphs? I figure it's on here, but just to confirm what it looks like so I'm not tearing apart the entire bay if I don't have to?
