ON Engine in winter

Sorry to bug... I only signed up today and have scrambled my brains reading soooo much. I was wondering if it will have any issues from being driving in the winter because of the rotary engine... Will it start the same or be damaged by the end of the winter in any way (1993)

No issues. Just don't beat on it until it reaches operating temperature.

Assuming it's stock...If it is modified, you may have boost control issues in cold weather.

Cold start

My 86 had some problems starting in the cold months. I belive i pulled a fuse and cranked it over then reinstalled the fuse. Then it started right up.

I think I found out what fuse to pull on a post on this site. It was either the fuel pump or fuel injection fuse.

This was a flooding issue and caused no damage to the car.
