Limp Mode

Going into limp mode a lot lately. The error code it gives me says something about the secondary injectors. I can start cold and run great. When I stop somewhere and then start back up again I get nothin but limp. I reset it and run fine again until I shut it down. Anyone have anything similar happen. Looking for some advice on where to start.

See if both injectors are pluged in ( the elect connector) if it is you may need to replace a bad injector . good luck,hope one is not pluged in but this is unlikely. a bad injector is more likely unless a dealer has been in there .

It's not that hard but if you don't know what you are doing, I'm guessing that you don't . Then I doubt you could fix it yourself. So get a someone who will do it right the first time.

I kinda want to learn how to do this stuff myself if I can. I've done a lot of simpler stuff I just haven't done anything with the engine yet. If it's just something that's loose or discounnected then I would think that would be easy enough to spot. I don't know how I would tell if an injector was bad though. My first thought was just to go ahead and replace them. I figured if I've got to get in there to troubleshoot them why even waste the time. It would be easier to to replace them. Right?

your not gonna hurt anything replacing them
even if you really don't need them itll probably help throttle response a little and maybe fuel mileage

but i would sugest to you what i would suggest to anyone who hasn't worked on a rotary engine before...

If you want to learn how to do it yourself GREAT there is no better feeling than to fix your car yourself (escpecially when most REAL mechanics can't)
but you should find someone who at least knows a little about rotary motors or about the job you plan on doing specifically to at least supervise and make sure its done right.

I have seen people who havn't done something before make thier problem worse by just not asking or realizing that knowledge is best gained by watching someone else do it first.

Don't get me wrong im not saying this can't be done by yourself (especially injectors) but if you really want to learn have someone help you.

sorry for the long post
