it breaks power when it's too hot or when I use the air conditioning too long.

welcome to the board.

1. please read the sticky'd threads at the top of the page, it will help you acclimatize a little better. for example, it helps when you state what car you have and any relevant modifications you made to it.

2. get a copy of the FSM and Haynes manual. you can find the FSM at Foxed.ca and i recommend the Haynes manual simply because they're pretty good references and usually quicker to get to than a computer file when working.

3. when you feel these "breaks" in power, where is the temperature?

are you still trying to drive the car? if so, you probably need to stop until you fix what is wrong, assuming it's not too late already. rotaries are notoriously and grossly intolerant of overheating and in 2 posts, i'm thinking yours is getting there if it hasn't already. a rapid rise in temperature can often be just as bad as too high of a temperature.

start checking your cooling system!

With a blow through the exhaust!

you're welcome. however, i'm not quite sure i understand what you're saying about the exhaust. a backfire?

was that compression test taken before or after you started having cooling problems?

I guess it was because I was shifting gears to late! And was pushing the car too much in the 3rd and 4th gear! That might have pushed turbo too much to heat the engine. It's fine now I drive carefully now. Thanks for the consultancy. This is my first personal car. I don't want to ruin it please help me climb the ladder without hiccups. And thank you once again.
