SHe Wont Start
Umm..... Lets see here my car will not start. It was running fine and then i went to go start it up in the morning and she wouldn't. The engine was turning over and it almost seemed like it wasn't getting spark but then i checked that and it was. There is plenty of oil and coolent in it so it could of been that. I don't know what it could be i am really clueless to rotary i am a newb. HELP!!!

sounds like its flooded, but u never know, did u change the spark plugs or wires recently? check if all ur fuses under the hood arent burned out. also check the battery, if u have tried to start it repeatedly it could have lost some of its voltage

My bet is on flooded as well.
Do like 88rxn/a said and pull the EGI fuse. Crank it for 15-20 seconds. Put EGI fuse back in. Try to start it. Remember you are basically pumping excess oil into the motor to try and build extra compression so, if it doesn't work try, try again...I usually crank it a more and more (not continuously though) AND get a jump at the same time that I try to start in case I have worn the battery down with all the cranking.
I think it took me 30-45 minutes to get it to start last time...I vowed to never shut my engine off while it's still cold again!
Also, these engines flood and STAY flooded...you could let it sit for an hour or a week still flooded.

i tried the battery i replaced that becuase he was drawn dead. I just replaced the plugs and the guy i bought it from said the wires aren't that old but i also checked spark so the wires are good becuase it was getting transfored all the way to the plugs.
