Fun little rotary issues....
So I bought this car recently..... Replaced the radiator.... Yet it still pukes up coolant every time I shut the car off and have to refill before I go anywhere....
Now tonight I have been fighting an issue where the car hesitates and bucks under partial/cruising throttle... doesn't matter the speed, happens under like 3k rpm. After driving for about 10-15 mins it drives normal again.
Whats up with these issues?

From where is it "puking" coolant? If it's the recovery bottle, first replace the pressure cap and hose running from the cap to the recovery bottle.
What year and model is the car?

Hey NavyFD3S, the rotary engine will buck/hesitate during cruising if it is not brought up to operating temp. I had the same issue with mine when i first got it. Most say to stay below 4000 rpm until it warms up.Just a thought. Do you mean AST( Air seperator tank) when u say expansion tank?
