How do I check my engine health from a Fuel Starve?
Tonite I fuel starved with a decent amount of open throttle. Anyway it was my fault since I had less than 1/4 tank and I was pull pretty g around the corner.
But I would like to know how I could check up on the health of the little engine. I went to fuel up and it drove fine no problem.
Oil level fine, coolant fine, pull same and strong. I couldn't do a little smoke while WOT check since it was dark.
But is there any other simple way to check how much damaged(if any) I've done?
Please let me know it's bothering me.

Not really if there is no problems you can notice. Rotaries I have seen blow mostly run decent until the apex seal finally lets go. Really though you should not sweat it. I guess you could do a compression check just for your peace of mind but if an apex seal was fatigued from fuel starvation you probably wont find it until it goes.
Don't worry to much these engines are not made of glass, I have seen worse survive. Just have fun in the car and keep it gassed up.
