Lost of power engine sounds like a B15 Bomber
I do my usual pre driving procedures. I warm the car up for 5 to 8 mins wait for the RPM to steady and then drive. After bowling one bout 2 nights ago i warmed up my car, drove it out of the parking lot and felt like the car stalled going on 2nd gear round 3000 RPM. I thought i stalled, but the engine just sputtered. It responded when i gave it gas but there was an incredible amount of power lost. I can't let it idle it'll drop and just dies. I manage to champion it home.
I let it cool and check back to it next day. There was no oil in coolant or water in oil. Turn the car on still did the same thing, i looked the temp gauge and oil pressure gauge they are all normal.
I don't know what wrong HELP MY Rotary!

Inspect everything in the engine bay. Look for things that might be unplugged, like fuel injectors or sensors.

hmmm it might be a HUGE exhaust leak
cuz there was A lot of smoke coming out the engine bay after i limped it back home. It was dark so i can barely tell where the smoke is coming from.

First check your spark plugs and wires, when was the last time the plugs were changed? While you are there check compression, what you are describing sounds like a blown engine.

Pretty soon you'll get to enjoy the F-35 (verticle takeoff version). Replacement for the Harrier...I think. Heck, replacement for just about anything.
You missed a F-111 tied down and in full AB with both engines. Rattles your teeth and I ain't exaggerating.
