Henry how's the car figure out what happened?

 

****, its my fault. oorx7 texted me to ask if everyone made it home OK and i said "pfft, of course they did.. they were all rotary"

 

Well I made it home OK, not sure if I did it with 1 rotor or 2. The car would idle low at like 500rpm and pull only 10-12inHg vacuum, plus the engine shakes at idle. It struggle the most in vacuum and seems to do OK in boost, and boost build very quickly. On my way home I had to keep it in 4th gear most of the time so the rpm won't drop, the car shakes really bad if I give it too much gas below 3,000rpm or right at 0psi. Exhaust gas smell very rich but I didn't hear any backfire.

She's just sitting in the garage right now, I'll do a compression check tomorrow but all symptoms point towards the seal

 

I'm also getting an O2 feedback and purge control solenoid code...

 

While shitty, Bill did call it.

 

^pics? hows UK after being home?

 

It's my birthday and I'm in Chicago for the weekend. What's not to miss while I'm here? Also where do cars meet on the weekends and is anything going on? Appreciate it.

 

You have your Seven? Check JDMchicago. There are impromptu gatherings all over the place. Not much planned fromthe seven community right now... ALTHOUGH I may try to put something together again before winter hits...

You guys In for another get together?

 

Grr. I'll just dolly my engine on a cart and make engine noises. Sucks not driving but its was fun.

 

Henry, Hows the motor?

 

bah, sorry I couldnt make it guys. I went to go pick up my car and while it was on the dyno the motor spun a bearing...

hopefully my motor was the only casualty of the day though.

now I just need like $5k for a proper rebuild... le sigh

 

It won't start, I tried doing a compression check with a piston tester and it's not looking too good, tho the numbers are weird because I did the test twice on each rotor, and they are different each time. I pull the plugs and they are soak with oil, I ordered some new plugs and wires, I'll swap them out tomorrow and see if I can at least get her to start.
