I am in need of some serious advice...

I recently overheated my car on a long trip because (as I found out) it has a hole in the radiator and all the water evaporated.

I only had it tuned a week or two before this, and it was running sweet as and now it hardly starts and is rough as, bumpy idle etc, and just sounds fairly ill.

I am a student and don't have much money so any cheap DIY advice would be a blessing. Don't let my 7 stay sick

Doesnt sound good, any time a rotary gets overheated it usually (99% of the time) is bad. You could do a comp test to verify but it sound like you warped the housings, probably getting coolant into the chamber. I hope your luck is different but it doesnt look good. I wish you the best.

Did you let it overheat for long?

If so, you've likely fried your engine and that's the cause of your rough idle.

If you decide you can't afford to fix the car and want to sell it contact me. eternal_rage69@yahoo.com Sorry about your car though.

Chances are you need a new or rebuilt engine. You can do a compression test and report your findings. That will tell a lot. Another thing would be burning coolant. If you have a white cloud of smoke coming out the tail pipe then you are buring coolant, which would definately happen if you warped the housings.
