so i was browsing around looking for a TII when i spot this one out it has 77k orignal miles 1 owner the car was repainted red but has poor repain the interior is 100% COMPLETE other than an aftermarket radio that is no longer there the car does run but has a problem with the motor maybe you guys can tell me what it is this is what the seller said in exact words

The car starts right up when it's cold but after it runs awhile, it won't start again, if you shut it off, until it cools off again.

do you guys know what this might be because if its not that much of an issue than id get it if it requires a rebuild not intrested...

Thanks

hott start eh its commin up on needing a rebuild

 

a friend who says hes been around rotarys for a while says that it could be the coil packs thats what i was shooting for.... o well

Thanks

well thats what my car was doing it would flood when it got hot and i could have to use my pedal to unflood because the 89 and up came with built in cut off switch. it might be the coil pack you could always check the compression

 

ok ill ask the guy today if the guy could do a compression test for me and send me some compression numbers and can i install my own cut off switch since the 89 and lower didnt come with one?
Thanks

Ummm no. The hot start problem is easily fixed and has nothing to do with needing a rebuild. Mine had the exact same problem and I fixed it by installing a fuel cut-off switch. It's been running fine like that for over 2 years now without a problem.

so then tell me details what would i need to do to fix this? what is it when its hot it floods or something?? and if thats it could you give me a write up on how to do this fuel cut of switch thing.
Thanks

That's not a fix, it's a band-aid. Fixing the root of the problem (worn out injectors, low compression) will eliminate the need for fuel cut switches.

 

Thats right, try to send the injectors in for cleaning, I did that, and it didn't work, only other reason was low compression, I bought the car without doing the test and now.........well, Im happy now my rebuild is ust about finished!

 

well if thats the case i prolly wont buy but thing is the car is being sold in 3 days and would need to know the exact problem if it does require a rebuild not intrested in car...
Thanks
