I'm assume since no distributor there's a power transistor pack somewhere. Maybe that's screwy?

Do you have ignitors? That's a problem with RX7's, the coils will check out, but the ignitor has shit the bed.

it doesnt stall out at all, it just idles like i have a mild cam but i really dont lol
i looked at my timing (which i thought i set perfect when the motor was out) and it was a tooth off. would it make it run like that?
