First of all thanks to all involved in this thread. Very usefull information all over the place.
My issue turned out to be the simplest of them all. Due to the Dropping Resistor backlog in the US I ended up getting a used RX-7 one. The guy who sold it to me patched the cables to the plug from my old DR, so the harness remained unchanged. Since I had tried another DR I was positive this was going to solve all the issues but in the end it only solved the Rough Idle. The ECU was still overfueling, even when warm, so I was forced to remove the Fuel Pump Fuse to be able to turn it on, replug the fuse and then try again, until I was able to keep it on.
So rough idle solved but still cold (and warm) start problems + high revs on idle. Dug further into what was posted here and matched the symptoms to some info I found in SXOC.com, and after replacing the correct Engine Temp Sensor (not the gauge one, yeah dumb me), the cold start issue and the high revs on idle issues are both gone. I was even able to rev it happily up to 6,500rpm on 1 hard pull thru 1st, 2nd and 3rd, which I hadnt been able since all this started.
Tomorrow I'll put back in the Grade 6 sparkplugs, and test it all day to see how it behaves. So far so good.
Thanks to all again.
