Hey everyone, I'm new to rotaries so I would appreciate your feedback so I was driving down a residencial street normally, when I came to a dip nothing to big so I slowed down & when I went over the bump my RPM dipped down to 0 I didn't mind it at first because the car is fairly old but what I didn't know is that the car completley shut off! Everything else electrical like my stereo was working fine Its like the engine stalled out so when I slowed to a stop sign & tried to go... it was off. I tried to start it immedietly but it wouldn't crank over. So I pushed it to the side of the road & tried to diagnose the problem when I tried to start it back up I noticed that the rpm would stay at 0 the needled wouldn't jump like how it usually does when you start the car. I thought it was flooded so I did the unflooding technique & it didn't work. So I called my friend to tow it to his house & for we could diagnose the problem tomorrow. He told me it maybe be the fuel pump or something that has to do with the fuel delievery 😢 Please help me 😭

 

Check under hood fuses. If your tach (RPMs) stays at 0, it means your trailing coil has no power. Im not sure which fuse it is, EGI me thinks. Theres only 7. Check em all.

Also you probably have a short somewhere that cause the short in the first place. When you hit the bump it probable cause the wire to arc on something.

 

And the year of the car is?

 

1987 with a NA 13b

 

Thank you 👍 I'll make sure to look at those tomorrow ☺

 

W/key to on check the Black/Yellow wire at the lead coil for 12 volts of power. Also, check the Black/White wire found in a Green check connector near the lead coil for 12 volts as well w/key to on (check connector has three other wires which are Yellow based).
