CA i think fuel porblem?

Bad luck ...
well i just got my rebuilt on friday im still brakeing it in i only got about 110 miles on it...well it was running like a dream, until it got impounded by the cops at the ontario races on saturday....(my of heard of it on the news)
well it sat there in there lot for a day n a half. on i when to go pick it up today..and it ran for about 3 mins when i got down the street it died..now the only way it starts is if i pull the plug on the fuel pump n crank it,when it feels like it wants to start my girl plugs it back in n it will start,but now it wont idle if it goes under 2k rpms it dies...n i drove it about 15 miles on the freeway (maybe thought it could still be flooded) but still nothing n the engine feels super weak!

could it be: fuel pump,fuel filter,wires,plugs???could still be flooded??
it was running super good bfor it impounded
eny one know what it could be?

(excouse my spelling/grammer)

-thanx

It could just be low compression due to the seals not being fully seated yet. That'll cause idle and startup problems, as well as power issues. Compression test it.

Wouldnt doubt that they screwed it up in the process of towing it.

Since a rotary takes so little force to turn over... is it possible they towed it in gear?

Morons prolly revved the **** out of it in the process of towing it and blew it before the break in was done. And not to be a dick but it seems like this may have been justice against you doin something illegal. I do hope that you get this worked out and back on the road but i mostly hope you learned you lesson.
