Read the stickies at the top of the 3rd gen section. Lots of really good info there.

For CA, area shops, go to the west section.

What mods does your car have, and what year and model?

Hopefully you happen to get the deal of a life time and not ripped off. Sounds like you got a really good price for all the work done to it. Good luck

So you bought fd3s_rx7's car, huh?

As for help, listen to Adam. Check the West regional section, search for "Rotary shop" or "mechanic" and the name of the largest major city next to you (don't post a new thread). Find shop, call, make appointment, take car to shop, find out what's wrong, pay bill, go home crying

Umm...I dont know if thats the guys screen name, but the guy was from Sac. I just basically want to know if anyone has had the problem I had. Actually I havent had the problem again, just that one night.

it's tough to tell what happened. Does your car have an ignition amp? Maybe bad plugs? Dirty fuel filter? Bad injectors?

I think what adam c was asking before was what your ENGINE mods are.

Was the car warmed up when the problem occured? Sounds to me like the AWS was still operating.

I hope you are kidding.

If the hesitation was a one time thing, don't worry about it. If it continues, take it to a rotary shop. There are several good ones in the bay area. I don't know about any that might be closer to you.

And yes, I was only asking about mods that would relate to your problem. Didn't need to know about the body kit .

Yeah the car was warmed up i was cruisin on the freeway at 80mph after about a good 1hr of in town driving-stop and go. the problem only occured once in the 3week period ive had the car. I have recipts for a newly changed filter fuel injectors.as for the mods i havent memorized them yet, like i said i bought the car 3 weeks ago and basically been doin a lot of research on the wankel but i will find the list by tommorow I think its a my moms house,hope she didnt throw it away.
