Update on my slow car

Well i got a new cap and rotor today, its a bit better, but still slow as hell.

I'm thinking i've lost compression, but i'm still not ruling out another error. I'm going to change the oil tomorrow and see if that helps (i KNOW it needs it)

Awhile back my SE was having a hard time starting and ran slugishly... turns out I neglected to change the oil for over 5000 miles! bad of me.. an oil change did make an instant difference.
Rotaries do like fresh oil

Hm. I AM having hard starting, and it is VERY sluggish.

Granted i KNOW the aux. port actuators arent working propperly, but it still should be loads faster than it is.

I'll try the oil tomorrow, and see how that does (also got a new oil filter for her)
