So it seems like ive been having one problem after another. The car has no power, wont rev past 5 grand and seems to take forever to get there. It smokes when cold and the smoke burns your eyes, its not heavy but enough to notice. Here is a video of the symtoms. sorry about my nasally voice, i have a cold A friend thinks that the seals are gone, but im too new to the rotary scene to make judgements like that. Thanks for your help

 

nobody?

 

What year and ...............it won't rev past five grand in the driveway??????

If a series five, do you have a engine check light on?

 

its an 88, im going to take a better video in the garage. no lights, no over heating, perfect idle, clean oil...wtf? could it be the crank angle sensor? new video on the way

 

here is one video, im uploading another one too.

 

Might in some fashion be related to the secondary injectors.

Idle the car. Go to the boost/pressure sensor. Pull its vacuum line off and feel the hose for vacuum. Is it there? or not?

Sparkplug wires on the right plugs? Look at your trail coils. Theres a T1 and a T2 embossed on the plastic case of that assy. The front wire goes to the top front sparkplug and the rear wire to the rear top sparkplug.

Lead sparkplug wires can go to either lower sparkplug.

I'd remove the plug off your TPS first thing. Then rev the engine and see if there's a difference or not.

Possible afm related. Mabe. Not so likely though.

After the above, download the fault codes and see if there's anything there or not.

 

but you dont think thats a seal right? im new to the rotary thing and i dont know a whole lot about them and im not trying to pretend i do, so all help your giving is greatly appreciated. i will run out and try this. thanks!

 

the wires on the trailing coil are correct, i pulled the vacum line off the pressure sensor and it has strong vacum, and i unplugged the tps sensor and the car wouldnt gain rpms so its not the tps, not trying to sound dumb, but where do i download the fault codes and how do i read them?

 

the car sat for a 5 years before i got it, the old owner fired it up and drove without the mufflers for 3 hours before i picked it up. so i just thought could he have hurt something in the fuel area? i just replaced the fuel pump a few minutes ago from the one in my s5, should i swap out the injectors and fuel rails from my s5 too? please helpppp!

 

the last video i swear

 

do u still have the stock cats? if so try removing the exhaust and see if the problem goes away. might be a slightly clogged cat

 

would that cause something like this though?

 

+1 If it were fuel or spark related it would run spuratically, I would almost lay money on it being a clogged cat...

 

i took off the exhaust and it ran like a top! with twice the power it had when i got it!

 

yep for sure it is a clogged cat. just punch it or buy a new one if u are worried about emissions
