Have I killed my first rotary?????

I pretty sure its gonna be major,

So today I got my rtek 1.0 chip and installed it in the car everything was fine ran great!!! then I realized that an old problem that I had overlooked while trying to stay positive is still happening.

at Idle the oil pressure gauge starts off at about 60 and slowly sinks down to 30 and the car spits and sputters and begins to cut off! reving it back up though the pressure goes back to 60 begins to idle just fine and then I watch helplessly as the it sinks back down to 30 and repeats the process.........

heelp me

30psi is normal for idle, 60psi being normal above 3,000rpm.


Basically your oil pressure has nothing to do with why your car is running poorly, guess again.

emissions? if so, check to see if your egr valve is still working properly. sometimes the spring and seal go bad causing a major air leak.

like karack said........"vacuum leak"
