And once again I am giving an update. Two weeks ago my engine completly lost all power. It barely wants to go above 1500 rpm's. I can also barely accelerate over 10 - 15mph. What could of happened to cause this?

Rip the exaust off and see what happens. Your a tenacious person. I'd have torn the engine down by now. Good luck. I have no new idea as to what is wrong with your car. Seems like it should have been the rotor oil seals and now the cat might actually be sooooo clogged up there is no escape for the gasses. EDIT: Check this out and in particular the picture by Mr Green https://www.rx7club.com/vforums/show...threadid=14386 thats bad oil seals. He's a good guy, just made a small error in the rebuild. Corrected it later.

Help....I'mm the newbie....I just purchased my third Rotary 85'...I have never seen an engine smoke like this....It is only during deceleration. or for a bit during coasting, such as to a light. Is my problem the seals as well?...and if so how much ATF or MMO to add to oil and fuel?
