my car ain't starting all whats left to check is the Alternator and sadly to say thee "Compression check" my TII has 114000 miles on it so by any chance is a "Rotary"comprssion check different from a Piston motor compression? I took m car to a Mechanic that has no experience with Rx-7's and did a compression check soooo... i don't know if hes right or wrong?

uh....well...yes...there is a diff...I just hope that he used a very short probe..no longer than the spark plug....and you will need to release the air or after a few turns the needle will hit the peg at the end of the scale...you are looking for three even bounces...if the probe was a long one then the apex seals are gone...
