Ok so I think I blew my motor. I had a problem the other day when my map sensor hose popped off and had me scared to death..

Now I was going to work and kicked it in 1st and 2nd then chilled. When I came to a stop the car was idleing funny...Stuttering and bogging down...Like I said my gauge was reading 900rpms and under 10 inches of vacumn...

So is it blown?
What to check to make sure?
How long can I drive it like that?
And who wants to help me do a motor swap if it is blown?


Comments and suggestions needed...

Thanks
Neal

 

does it still drive OK? plenty of power/etc?

 

maybe you blew off a vac hose, kinda sounds like it

 

It has power in the upper rpm range, but no power down low..

 

by that, I would say its a vaccuum...

 

man is that one of those turbo cars!??1! them rotary sixes are a whole heap of trouble..

man fix your car... or make rotor sports fix it.

ill give ya a tv for your turbo if your motor is blown

joe said he loves you.. man your gay

 

if your car is still idling at 900rpms.. I think you have enough compression.. so its not blown. Prehaps your tps is not adjusted.

You can always get a compression check to find out if its blown.

No power in lower rpms? Sounds like every rotary powered car... you won't start to feel power till about 3k.

 

I have a haltech e6k with all the emmision stuff off. Dont know where the leak could be. I am going to get another motor rebuilt... by BDC

it might not be blown but i am going to have the one built..just in case

 

Shezzz, I wish I had that kind of money to build a spare motor..

 

Sounds like it's blown to me. My car would idle at 900 rpm, but be a real slug until about 3 or 4000 rpm, then take off like a bat out of hell. Pulled the motor and it had a bad seal on the front rotor.

Good luck,
Manolis

 

Found out it is not blown....good right...

But it does have low compression on the front rotor...
BUMMER!

But is is also coming out maybe next week to get a full rebuild...lucky me...

Once that is done then time for t04 upgrade and fmic..
I need speed...
