Still new to the rotary engine and new to this forum but my car is suffering from, horrible gas milage, loss of power, and trouble starting (so bad that i generally park it on a hill so that i can push start it when it's being difficult). It seems to me that all of these symptoms could indicate that for some reason, only one rotor is working or that one rotor is working particularly inefficiently. i did a compression test just to get a basic idea of what's going and all the numbers were between 92-103psi which are right in spec with what they should be. just from the age and the history of the engine that the car has in it, i need to get my fuel injectors cleaned but havent gotten around to having that done yet. i dont think that's the problem though. any ideas and possibly how to check them. i have tools and a lift at my disposal but not much experience with engines. any help would be appreciated. thanks

If you want to check to make sure you're fuel injectors are actually firing (pretty much only concerned with the primaries in your case) you can take off up the UIM and remove the injector connector plugs and then apply 12v to one of the prongs on the injector and grounding the other. Just listen for a click. Note you shouldnt leave the 12v on there very long, not sure if it does any damage for a long period of time but half a second is enough to check to see if the injectors are actually working. If you take off the UIM though and can afford to have your car down you might as well send the injectors off to clean. If one of your injectors doesnt click then it is dead. You can confirm this by also testing the secondaries and if they check out ok switch them to the primaries and see if you still have the hard starting and no power problem. I've had a stock injector die but I dont think it's very common.

alright sounds good, i'll give that a shot tomorrow when i get to work. what about testing the coil packs. i pulled the plugs out just to make sure that they were all firing but is there any way for the plugs to not be getting enough power? i just replaced them 2k miles ago.
