Um, rotaries don't have intake cylinders...

You sure you're on the right forum?

This is why the guys that have been around a while do all of their own car's maintenance

Think you need to find a new shop... there are no intake cylinders on a rotary engine

you cam timing is off,

PX Brotherhood

wow. well i profess to be no rotory expert. but damn, my F@#$'n mechanic owned a 10th AE. i would expect that he has some idea of what hes doin.

i talked to a regular mechanic today and he said that was probly a rotary thing. ****.

We're just messing with you, but we really need a LOT more info about what the car's doing before we can help you out much...

Icemark

what is the problem??? not starting??? Not running??? Poor idle???

And I must admit I am pretty bewildered by your lack of knowledge if you have ceramic 3mm seals ($2k right there) in your rebuilt motor... as well as:
did you buy the car not running from someone that claimed all these things were installed or something?

mighta thrown a rod?

check to see if your muffler bearings move freely, and make sure your blinker fluid and tire grease levels are up. if you don't catch these common problems early, you'll most likey burn a piston or two.

next time you get it rebuilt, ask them to install carbon fiber sync levers. you'll be surprised how much smoother it runs wtih them.

Hey guys, we all started green (in my case a long, long time ago)

.....dude it might just be flooded.
pull the two inner fuses from the drivers shock tower fuse box
egi comp and egi fuel or something like that
then crank your starter for about 15 seconds at a time (or else you might **** up your starter from overheating it from cranking too long)
i bet youll have TONS of white smoke, crank until no more white smoke out your exhaust (thats all fuel)
and buy some new plugs and put them in and try again once the fuel smoke stops coming out your exhaust

as for the lack of knowledge, this is my first car. my engine blew up and i did the t2 swap cause i thought it would be wicked to have a turbo car. i did a lot of reading on this site to figure out what i wanted.

so really i know jack squat about what makes these things run.

all my mechanic said is that the an intake cylinder was filling up with fuel. i couldnt even go into the back to take a look at it. he said he was gonna call they guy who rebuilt the engine to ask some questions.

i hope the thing is just flooded. i just want to have something to show for all my money.

so if there was any guess from the limited information i supplied....... you guys would say flooding?

WAYNE88N/A

Tell the mechanic to pull a plug from each rotor housing and see if they're wet. If so, good...You're flooded...

PX Brotherhood

will do, thanks WAYNE

fstrnyou

i'm sorry, just trying to have a good time at someone else's expense. i haven't been long in the rotary scene myself....

PX Brotherhood

LOL np man

CompuBob

tell him to push start the bitch, if everything elce is working correctly

PX Brotherhood

if its flooded, would push starting work??

i dont believe it.

and after everything is said and done, give your mechanic the bill from the people on the forum, for taking their time training his nub ***.
