I took the kar to Aerodyne and they told me that I need to replace the throttle cable because it gets stuck. And my timeing and idle was way off they said they set it to stock, when i drove home my idle was at 1500-2000 rpm's. (traffic on the freeway) And later in the night when i had to leave work at 10 the kar didn't want to start i had to pull the fuse agian.

Sounds like a leaky injector....Id pull all the injectors and find a place that can clean them, or replace them.

Mazdatrix sells an injecter bleeder kit that will help, or you can install a fuel cutoff switch, and use that as a quickfix.

Well the kar has been down at this shop for a week here in riverside. they looked at it once. so today i think i'll tow it to Aerodyne if i kan. I've been hearing a lot that it could be the injectors but also that it could be something not as bad like the fuel pump or something.

Like IGO says, get a compression check by someone who knows rotary engines before you continue to bash your head against the wall looking at this and looking at that. Low compression=hard or no start. It's the first thing to check when you have repeated problems with the engine turning over but not starting.
