I think i'm running a little rich, sometimes i'll smell my exhaust and it smells more like gas than it does exhaust. So who will do this for rotaries? I'm in Gig harbor willing to drive as far as seattle or olympia, tacoma is perfect

rotarys allway smell pretty bad, any more details on the car? mods? year, what kind of ecu, stock aftermarket? ect

you would probably have to take it to a shop with a tuner with a dyno

or some emissions specialist shop if u just want to see if emissions is correct?

You could allways buy your own wide band air fuel gauge and see what kind of a/f your running, gauge cost between 250-400 depending on which one u buy.

it's a 1991 na coupe, the only mod is an apexi power intake. I also think i may have a minor exhaust leak which would add to the "gasoline" smell of the exhaust

If the car is stock, and you smell fuel in the exhaust, the cat is probably toast. Rotaries smell pretty strong when they are uncorked. Id remove and inspect the cat. They don't last forever. Or better yet if you are in a non emissions controlled area, remove that piece of junk all together and get a real exhaust.
