rotary pinging
What does pinging sound like in a rotary engine. I hear sone strange rattling coming from the engine in my 93 Rex and it sounds worse in first gear. I never heard it before and wondering if it was pinging. It idles fine and starts easy. any help is appreciated.

knocking wouldn't be speed dependent. If you get it above 45 no matter if you are giving gas or not, then it must be something else.
when it dies the idle is really bad, not an unstable one, but really rough. And also you will loose power when you gas it.

the air pump often makes some crappy noises when it's going bad.... does it make the noise at idle or when it's not in gear? can you pop the hood & rev the engine to reproduce it?

Automatic transmission fluid. You put it in your sparkplug holes and then crank the engine up. It will smoke like hell, but clean the engine quite well. You could also get some professional, engine cleaning stuff, but why bother.
