Angry frustrated

i just need to vent. im losing all faith in my car and my wrenching abilities. im just about ready to give up, sell it, and go back to the stock vette. i got in over my head without knowing much of anything about rotaries. i should have just kept the motor, although 17 years old, it ran well. instead, i went in and messed with the injectors and intake manifold. now im struggling just to get the car to run like it did a few months ago. its just so frustrating.

It's OK. When I was buliding my car I thought that I would never get it done. But I just keep working I tryed to think about what It would be like when it would be done. (It also took my mind off all the money that I was spending.) Then when I was "done" the first time I started it up I did't have any oil pressure. So back apart it went. I know what you are feeling. And if you need help just ask. If I don't know some one here does. Don't give in.

I think a lage majority of us have been through it. Just hang in there. The whole point of a rotary engine car is to learn about it. IMO.

Right now I can't get my '85 GSL-SE to start. I've replaced coils, spark plugs, distrubitor cap, the thingie inside the distrubitor cap, fuel pump and still it doesn't start.
