i've noticed for the past couple days, that when i go to start my car (usually in the mornings), it struggles to startup.....like for example....it usually takes a couple cranks to start and it starts right up and idles at 3k for a bit then drops to normal(due to flooding, right?), but recently i go to crank it a couple times and it starts, but it starts REALLY weak (almost to the point where you dont think it started up), and then slowly gets up to how it would normally start/sound......

sorry if you dont understand but its kind of hard to explain....does anyone know what im talking about? and if so why is it happening and what can i do to fix it?


thanks,
chad

 

Not sure what problem is but you may want to try starting it in 1st gear with (clutch pressed down course), should overrides the 3k startup.

 

oh hey i never thought of that, ill give it a try, thanks.....anyone know anything about the main problem though?

 

Might be low compression. Compression tests are quick and cheap. If you have your own tester, do a search to find out how to use it on a rotary (it's different than with piston engines...)
