Ahhh Engine problem need help

I searched and didn't seem to find the solution. I resently put a Greddy intake on my Fd. I drove it all day on Sat. and a bit on Sunday. It ran strong. Drove it later sunday still warming up so no boost if any it was 4-5. All of a sudden no compession car shuts down. I get it started has no compression no power and I have to keep in gear to get it home. Turbos still spooled up. I had to rev up to keep it moving. I pulled the plugs to day. They are all fouled. Any ideas why this would happen in an instant? I will go get new plugs later and see what happens. Let me know if anyone is familier with this

It's a rotary.

I would have tried to answer better, but i couldn't understand what in the hell you typed. How do you know there was no compression?

+1, you need to explain your problem a little better, don't quite get what the problem is.

Trying to understand your symptoms...

Is it in "limp mode?"
is it possible your boost sensor hose popped off (common problem)?

ok sorry guys. 1. the car loses all power. Sounds funny. 2.car shuts off I push in clutch and start. nothing.3. I popped clutch while moving engines sounds wierd.4. I pulled over thinking a hose popped off It was dark so couldn't see much with the flaslight i had. I was only 3-4 miles from home and drove it. It would not stay running on its own. 5. I assume no compession because i had to power.6. I did hear turbos like normal. It sounded like engine blew. Although upon pullling the plugs today they were fouled. My question is did the car run like **** because of the plugs? and if so why would all of a sudden the car runs great then like ****? Here is a pic of plugs

i would say you blew the motor.
did you hear a boom?

but do a compression test to make sure.

if compression is good go to the map sensor next.

you will have to check the map sensor electrically.
refer to Page F-167 of the FSM for specs.
