Front rotor isn't getting fuel

I got my Turbo II 3 months ago. the motor was rebuilt and problems still arise Right now the guy that built the motor said the car would start but would have violent shaking at 1000 rpm. I pretty much gave up on the car so I towed it home. Got it home tried to fire it up.. Nothing..I mean it would start but wouldnt idle. Check for spark -got that. When we checked out the spark plug the rear was wet but the front rotor spark plugs were DRY like i can take it back to autozone it was so clean.

Heres my questions how can I fix the problem with the front rotor not getting fuel?
#2 could that have been the cause for the violent shaking the front rotor not getting enough fuel?

ummm, tear it apart and makesure one of the pins in the injector plug didnt back out. it happend to me once...

the shaking sounds like somthing else, miss-matched motor parts. i've yet to see a rotary engine violently shake when running on one rotor...

Pull the primary rail up. Zip tie the two injectors to the rail.

Pull the CAS out but leave it connected to the harness. Jumper the yellow two socket fuel pump check connector.

Key to ON, spin the bottom gear of the CAS with your fingers. Fuel should spurt out the primary injectors as you spin the CAS. Done.

What is the number on the ECU? N374? Too bad.

i had a similar problem when i swapped my second to last engine no fuel to rotor on the primary injector turned out sum1 had changed clips and butt connected the new one on and it had pilled out but was all taped up so it took a while to find it wound up fubaring a new turbo due to lean temps. those wires get pretty brittle settin on top of the hot engine after twenty or more years and tend to crack and break also . either way u gotta pull the uim to check injector clips

IF for some odd reason your hesitant to pull the CAS and spin it, then just turn the key to start and that in turn spins the CAS and causes the primary fuel injectors to spit fuel out the injectors that you zip tied to the fuel rails.
