Sorry, i forgot to mention that the car is in gear....
I will re-explain that.......Park your car in a small hill, put it in first gear, normally the car will stay still without the brake on. If you go in 5 gear, than it will "roll" down but in first, like I said, the car should stay in place. So what is wrong?
It's a question to find out what is wrong, not a smart *** question..
Thanks

One little detal: The rotary engin builds no compression until you get to about 100 rpm.
