Strange problem
Before you say "search" just know that this problem was just sort of sudden and nothing really turned up.
I took my new FC out on Christmas morning and less than a mile from my house it starts bucking like it had a bad battery connection.
Then it stalls.
I start it back up and it won't rev over 4k and when it hits 4k it made a strange sound like it was being redlined, and the engine shook violently.
It stalls out again as I push the clutch to downshift so I can pull into my driveway.
Now it refuses to start.
I always think that my engine is blown no matter what happens to it.
But now I'm completely stumped. What do you think?

oh my bad haha, sorry, i'm a bit out of it right now
i just got the car, but it didn't act like a fuel problem
i had a conquest with a bad fuel filter and it was nothing like this
and i know its getting fuel because it floods badly

wont start after bad choking acceleration ? turn car into on position do you have power? if you do eliminate battery issue as source of problem. Try starting the car, does it turn over? do you hear just clicking? Check the alternator and starter for normal operation. If it turns over and wont start, check to see if you are flooded and do your normal deflooding procedure. after you done with those check ups and everything checks out ok, time to move in deeper starting with spark n timing. Most issues that give your description can be resolved just by looking at the normal parts that keep your engine turning starting with electrical power.

Try Changing your Spark Plugs..if you have constantly Flooded the car,chances are the plugs are fouled and not firing Correctly..That would make the car run rough right there.

that would not make the car start running on one rotor as its going down the road though
when i say the engine shook violently, i mean that it had enough force to vibrate the whole car, and lose enough power to not propel the car faster than 45 mph
that is why i say it is blown

yea the violent shaking- lets play how many pieces is my apex seal in now? 4? 5? 6?
haha well lets just hope for the best. but rotories are known for their smoothness at all rpms. if its otherwise expect catatrophic damage.

Check compression, fuel pressure and spark. I just had to replace a fuel pump on mine since the tank was full of stuff and the sock was clogged. It had the same symptoms as yours.
