ok im not sure what happened i was coming home from work and then my car started acting like a spark plug wire came off so i checked all that plugs still good
ok so then i started it and let it idle and pulled the wire
off on the rear rotor and the idle got a little worse and i could see it arc to the plug
so i know its not the plugs or the wires. so what the hell is it if anyone could help me I'd appreciate it
could i have lost compression on one of my apex seals or a fuel injector stopped up or something
help please i have to have this car running right now
email me if you feel like
thanks

Need more data... The car was misfiring when you were driving it...


Explain what you mean when you said acted like a plug wire came off.

I assume you mean no power.

Tell us exactly what you have changed and when you changed it...


Thanks, we may be able to help with more data.

First off where in TN are you, I might be able to help you personally if youre close to knoxville/bristol.

Second, sounds like you *might* have lost compression somewhere. Telltale signs are galloping uneven cranking/starting, starts up like a lawnmower, revs out slowly in neutral, and vibration of engine and car, and unwillingness to idle in most cases.

First rule of troubleshooting a rotary is to run a compression test. if you need instructions on how to do this post back here, email me at hypntyz@charter.net, or call me(the contact information is on my webpage www.rotaryresurrection.com) anytime until late at night is fine.

Ru the compression test and if (and only if) that comes back ok then we can troubleshoot the rest of your car.
