help my sick fc/ running on 1 rotor
i have an 86 na that just recently bit the dust. I was leaving my girlfriends house, when all of a sudden my motor strarted to sputter and lost most of its power(i could only do 60 on the highway Floored!). So i did most of the usually thingsplugs,wires,cleaned all 4 injectors,and so on. All of this was to no use for i found out that only my front rotor was working, i am getting spark from all coils.
please help as i am an experienced piston mechanic but novist with rotorys.

Get your compression tester out, remove the check valve, place it in each upper plug hole, pull the EGI fuse in the engine bay fuse box, crank her a couple of seconds each rotor, and report back with the readings from the 3 pulses from each rotor...

well I have an 86 and I recently blew an apex seal due to a bad injector, so it ran lean and popped the seal. When I removed the plugs they were fouled with oil as well, perhaps something to do with improper combutsion due to the lean condition? I don't have an answer for the fouled plugs myself. But perhaps the best thing to do is find out if there is three pulses, and check out your injectors.
