Earlier tonight i started up my car, then something completely different happen than usual, my car started with massive rumbles and remained at super low rpm, i tried to kick up the rpm a bit by putting little amount of gas to it, as i barely gassed it, rpm barely even had any effect of moving up. and while gassing a little, my car backfired 3 times like never before, 3 sparks of flames my friends from behind said.. i turned off my car because thr strangeness was messing with my head, now my car wont start at all.

I hardly ever abuse the car, RARELY ever bone out or mess around with it. oh btw it has 159xxx on it. maybe a word from you experts to verify that my motor is blown or there is another problem with it?
plans for the future...part out or try to sell the shell
any opinions, advice would be greatly appreciated Thanks rx7club!

Check the compression. It does sound like you lost an apex seal, since it will lead to really hard starts, bad idle and no power.

sounds reasonable, because before this happened my car always had that crazy amount of smoke problem when at high rpm's (the thing where people said either it was my coolant seal or apex seal)

the rumblies are a tell-tale sign.

Oddly enough, when I blew my motor my idle was better than ever. Rock solid at 900RPM. However it rumbled like mad and I limped it home.

^well said.
to see objectively for ur self. remove the top or bottom spark plug of one housing, disable ignition and crank for a few seconds. is it uneven pulses? then replace and repeat for other housing. good luck with ur future plans.
