youre running low on headlight fluid, you need a new engine



but seriously, try taking hte door sensor (little rubber thing) off and sanding the contact points clean

works like a charm

so's mine, but then again, it is 18 years old, I have removed a number of parts (aws, air pump etc, and my tps is bad). Its hard to start because fcs push a tad much fuel when starting (why its so easy to flood one.). Do a full tune up, that should at least help some. Check the oil (I have found that when the oil level gets low, it tends to get hard to start. which is why youo should check the oil every tim you gas up). Much of this material has been covered. Please do a search, and you will find out more. How long have you had the car?

I had the car only a few days, and i am having hard time to start the car, it starts but somtimes it takes a few cranks and sometimes it takes 20 minutes to start.
I am so new to rotary, so i don;t know where to check the faults? My FC is 88 model, shall i replace the spark plugs? Spark Wires? or any other recommendations??
Many thanks
