apex seal = blown motor

tell him to check the water temperature sensor on the back of the waterpump housing, near the alternator.

its not the apex seals or it wouldn't start

its typical of rotaries to have a difficult start while its cold out you just gotta make sure to get it running good before winter hits

When is the last time the car has had a full tuneup?

There should be no cold start issues on a car in good shape. Old worn out plugs and leaking injectors will cause issues.

No.


Check the plugs/wires or for leaking injectors.
