ok i tried this the other night but noby really gave me any answers. i really need some help.

so i started up my car the other day. it was running just fine at first but then i lost alot of power. it wasnt getting up and going like it should. then it started backfiring really loud.

i noticed that one side of my exhaust smelled like fuel. the other smelled normal(exhaust fumes). so i traced the pipe back and noticed that one of the header pipes were glowing red. so off course i turned it off.

what the hell is going on? please help!

 

You check your plugs? And it sounds like your exhuast might be clogged at the cat.

 

i dont think they are because i just bought my exhaust system about ayear ago. also i have pre-silencers, although im not sure if there the same thing or not.

 

why is it that nobody ever ansers my posts? is it cause you just dont know or is it cause im new on this site? please, i really need help. im scared to run my car until i fix it.

 

really this is just ridiculous. nobody in 3 hours has even glimpsed at my post. why is it really cause im new.

 

rotary engines run very..very hot....so that glowing thing is normal on your exhaust pipe.

Did you check your timing? (you see every time you mess around with the air intake or anything that’s connected to it, you mess the timing up)

when was the last time you did the tune-up?

 

timing is off... too much fuel not enough air.

 

Do you have true dule's?

 

ITS NOT THAT YOUR A NOOB, ITS THAT YOU HAVE WHINER'S SYNDROME! BE RESPECTFUL, AND SOMEONE "might" TRY TO HELP

PEACE THE DOG

 

ok yes it is true dual. i just checked the timing and its dead on. the car seems to be running just fine. except for the on side of the header. it has never done this before. please help.

 

You are runing lean on one rotor. Get your injectors cleand.

 

Aw shucks. I passed this post up repeatedly and the reason was the title. Non descriptive title. Only reason I looked now is a commercial is on the telly.

 

Since the exaust is seperated, I'd guess you chunked a apex seal. You can do that just idling.

Try swapping LEAD sparkplugs and see if things change. DO NOT buy new ones.

You don't have a catalytic converter I take it. Just the dual exaust.....presilencers and muffleres. They don' t clogg up like a catalytic converter.

If you swap plugs and it still runs ratty........try a spin around the block to see if it clears up any. If not, then pull both lower plugs and have someone spin the engine with the wires off the rest of the plugs. You put your thumb over one lowe hole at a time and see if the pulses are quite different. IF they are, the apex seals have gone kaput.
