Ok here's the deal. I started my car up one night and only let it warm up to about 55 degrees c. Got home and turned it off. The next day I started it up but there was heisitation in start up. Went out to the local parts store to get something. When I was driving home I noticed that the BOV wasn't going off and I lost some power. I put it in the garage and let it cool. I found the problem with the BOV. The pipe wasn't set all the was in the connection to the intercooler. I tried to start it the next day and nothing. I thought it was flooded but that wasn't the case. Checked my spark plugs and I'm not getting any spark in any of the 4 plugs I have. I have no idea what to do about this. Someone please help... P.S. its cranking fine just won't turn over

I noticed you are a new member here and that no one has posted a reply to your post. I do not usually reply to question like yours as there are member here that are far more knowledgeable than I am, but as no one has stepped up I may be able to at least point you in the right direction. It sound like you have at least discovered why your car is not starting which is better than a lot of new members can say in your situation. I of course have no idea regarding how much you know about these cars, if you have the tools or even the desire to work on your car so I would start with do you know of a shop in your area that is qualified to work on your car? That might be a better question to post in the section listed for your state. Unfortunately there are not very many shops qualified to work on our cars.

As for the description of the problem you are experiencing, first I would tell you that the issue with you BOV should not have anything to do with the loss of spark to your plugs. While it could be any number of things I would start by checking all of your fuses and relays. Your car actually has three different coils so the chance of all three going bad at the same time are almost zero. If you do not have a shop manual you should down load one. There are links on this site and there is no cost to you. The harsh reality is if you really want to own one of these cars you have two choices. One is to spend a lot of time and effort learning everything you can about how to work on and maintain your car mechanically or find a really good mechanic with a good track record working with the rotary engine and have the kind of money it take to pay them. If you are the former, I would highly recommend you down load the shop manual and learn to use the search feature of this form. In the six years I have owned my car I have rebuilt and installed my engine, installed a single turbo, relocated my fuel filter, done an OMP conversion, installed a FMIC, new brake rotors, coil-overs shocks, transmission, light weight fly-wheel and clutch and on and on. I started from close to zero as far as knowledge and was able to learn enough with help from people on this forum to accomplish all of what I have done. You will find the help you need here if you are willing to put in the effort to learn. I know this is not exactly the help you where hoping for but at least you might have a better idea of where to start and you now know there is someone out there who has been where you are. Good luck with your car my guess is it is something simple like a fuse.

did you ground your spark plugs when you checked them for spark?

Did you take the plugs all the way out and check them? They get fouled really easy on a stock CPU. Are they the right kind of plugs? Did you do anything to the car prior to having the problem? Another common mistake is to plug them in wrong.

Easiest way to get to them is to jack the car up and go in under the wheel. Getting to the plugs from the top is a pain in the ****.

I pulled every plug out and check the spark against the motor... No spark. I have NGK 9's all the way around. The only thing I did prior to the problem is wash my car lol...

Well, if that was it, perhaps you had a connection that wasn't sealed very well and shorted something out. Needless to say I'd check your coils, igniter, and connections between all of them. The FSM will give you the info you need.

BTW, not turning over means the motor isn't spinning. I assume you mean it IS turning over, just not starting.
