Watch for a malfunctioning intake system and worn suspension bushings on all high-mileage first-generation RX-7's.
A third type is the framing of a sculptured air intake system of thermoplastic, molded into a "nest of vipers" shape.
This power plant has a different intake system, though its horsepower and torque ratings are the same as the engine with the automatic transmission.
According to Mr. Braddock of Ford, the intake system of the first Taurus SHO engine of 1989 was reshaped by designers in a high-tech, nylon-based thermoplastic for both better air flow and better appearance.
The computerized medical intake system, a "rudimentary" network that cost $200,000, also allows workers to generate requests for specialized care for a number of medical and mental health problems faster and more accurately, she said.

The performance upgrade, meanwhile, adds a cold-air intake system and free-flowing exhaust to the 500's standard 1.4-liter 4-cylinder.
Compared with spraying the gasoline further upstream (inside the passageways of the air intake system, as on most of today's gasoline engines), direct injection provides a mixture that is richer in fuel near the spark plug and progressively leaner (a higher proportion of air and less fuel) farther away.
