Hey everyone

My car wont start and I think its a vaccum line. Theres 3 vaccum lines running off the side of the throttle body(towards front bumper) The top leads to the vaccum spider and the middle one leads to the cold start assist (I think) If the middle one werent hooked up would it cause my car to not start.... I dont know alot about rotarys but theres a little bit of oil on my plugs........whats this all about.. Thanks for the help

vacuum problems won't prevent the car from starting, it'll just have a hard time running at low RPM.

oil or gas on the plugs suggests that the engine is flooded. See the FAQ sticky at the top of this section.

Yeah just do some unflooding methods and it should start right up.

Can anyone confirm that the middle vaccum line leads to the cold start assist.......The vaccum diagrams in the haynes manual are greek to me. thanks

Ohm I don't think it does I think it is part of the emmisons rats nest, if it is not that it goes to the fuel pressure regulator on the secondary fuel rail.
