Starting issue (searched)
I have to hold the throttle open a bit to get my TII to start up, when it does it smells a bit rich until it burns off. TPS adjustment didn't change it. I think the compression is a bit low, haven't checked it since but when it flooded out on me and I had the plugs out, it had 75 in the rear and 50 up front, no atf added yet. So I figure it has around 75-80 w/o being washed out w/ fuel :) Will this cause it start like this?
I still need to adjust the BAC and possibly idle hard stop, I had to zip-tie the fast idle lever up to keep it from idling at 2k all the time, the t-wax doesn't work right. I have fiddled with them before and nothing has changed how it starts, if I don't hold the throttle open a bit it won't start on it's own. It'll try a little then just flood out. |
How did you check the compression? You need to know the compression on all faces of the rotors. If you just used a regular compression tester and let the pressure build up from multiple rotations of the rotors, that won' t tell you much. You can still have a bad apex seal and that technique will not pick that up. Get a good compression test with a compatible rotary-engine compression tester, and make sure the engine is warmed up and the accel pedal depressed all the way when cranking the engine.

Sorry I should have specified. I checked it w/o the check valve in, got 3 good 75psi bounces in the back, 1 75 psi bounce and 2 50's in the front. The front rotor was flooded worse though it seemed. Also the engine wasn't warmed up either, as it wouldn't crank.
Fully charge the battery, de-flood the car, warm it up and have a good compression test done before giving up on the car. |
Aight, I'm gonna try and fool w/ the idle settings some today and see if I can get it to idle decent, then I'll take it for a spin round the block and check it.
BTW I put new intake gaskets on a month ago, pumped a lot of atf through the chambers while I was at it to clean them out good and help the apex seals some, it sat w/ atf in it for 2-3 days. Didn't change how it started up though. Also, it seems to run fine once cranked, other than a low, slightly rough idle. |
