ARG!!!!!! Rotaries are so frusterating!!!!

so about last march i rebulit my 89 n/a fc it ran fine when i took it apart. in the rebuild process i street ported it and put a rx8 e shaft in it. i also removed all the emisions. when i put it back together almost everything was back to normal.......... now when the car comes under load at anything more than about 40% throttle makes it want to sputter and die. i just replaced everything form the LIM up including the injectors. i just wanted to know if anyone has had this problem and how i could fix it............. F.M.L.

Sounds kinda like limp mode to me... Are you getting any CEL's? Could be your Oil Meterng Pump going out. Could also just be a vacuum leak.

Check the fuel pump, my GXL did that last year before I sold it. Turned out to be the fuel pump.
