Switch the fuel lines around. see if that does it.

 

i just tried that 5 mins ago....ive been searching forums left and right trying to figure it out

 

check the power harness for faults or disconnected ****... Sounds electrical to me...

 

Then dont. it doesnt make any difference to me. And next time, look for catch phrases before you set a price.

 

^^^LOL

That intake looks like they may have used a chain around it to yank the motor and you just finished it off.

IF the motor cranked one time then it won't strat again try the ATF in the spark plug holes to increase the compression and make duobly sure that the battery is fully charged so that the motor is cranking fast.

The rebuild websites say to have your idle set high for when it starts you can leave it running while you adjust. Also you need to allow it to run for quite some time to allow all that stuff to seat. Kevin Landers claims that he allowes some to idle in the driveway for up to four hours. Lest that is the way I read it. When I got mine started after the rebuild I did the same thing. peeps criticized me for it......but what did it hurt?

When you started it and it died immediatly that is the first step to a **** load of starting problems...just like you describe. You may have to push start it with another car dragging it with a strap or pushing it fast or going downhill to get that motor turning over quickly.

This is stuff I "heard" in the second Gen...I have not had to do any of that as of yet.

I would first check the way you have the ignition stabbed....what is that thing called?? CAS? Crank angle sensor.........OK, distributor for those over 40....Seems a lot of people get that thing in wrong and the car is timed horribly. remember when you are stabbing it, it turns while it is going in and contacting that other gear on the crank so you have to back it off a hiar so that when it turns that little bit it actually lines up properly

All this **** is just a suggestion and you need to consult the manual because I am not the one that is considered an expert.

 

Start it up and keep it reved up high, like lock the throttle cable up high, then look for leaks, sounds, fires, etc

 

thanks alot jh and wacky next time check the first post and look at what i was thinking for a price for the car "1500-2000"

 

hmmmm.. why dont you read your post again "3 X my $400"

 

ever heard of exageration?

 

ok heres the deal for some reason i tried cranking it again and held it for about 10 seconds then all of a sudden it cranked over. sounds like a lawn mower but then it dies after about 3 seconds. all my vacuum lines are hooked up. could it be my firing order or could my injector plugging still be mixed up?

 

Mine was more being sarcastic. Anyways, stop postwhoring and get that baby running!!!!

 

well just chill on the sarcasm and im posting so much to try and get my baby running

 

The more you BS, then for sure, that car aint going nowhere period

 

what are you talking about me BSing? i havn't even BSed once.

 

then why dont you read the darn FSM and figure out hte problem. Post it in the 2nd gen section. you may get the cure to your issues.

 

why dont you just keep to yourself then if your not gonna try and help me out

 

oh stop crying.

 

stop bitching

 

Im not the one who set the price. so dont get hasty with me missy. Blame your dumb ***.

 

its funny how you just brought up the price issue all over again when thats already old ****. so what if i get hasty with you get out of my thread. im not looking for ppl to talk **** and think their better than everyone else. im trying to get some help to fix my car. i wonder now if all 3000 of your posts are talking **** to ppl. blame your dumb *** for getting involved in something your not needed in

 

Restab the CAS, check for vaccum leaks in the TID/Intake, make sure that your fuel pump is clicking on. you should be able to hear it. If you have spark and fuel, it's going to be a vaccum leak. Just keep ******* with it. get that bitch running...we need more rotaries on the road.

 

now I know why your car aint running. its not the parts. Its you that has a problem dumb-***.


Continue talking **** to me and I will do the same. I got nothing else better to do.

 

ca....ca....can't ...we all just...................... get along?

 

Honestly, try the 2nd Gen forum, in there Ill put some effort and help, but not here

 

RE Turbo........just go along with Wacky.....he is gonna jack your *** until you we all start crying. Some with laughter.

Try to restab the CAS and make sure it is right. Then squirt the ATF fluid. Then make sure the idle is set up high and start that thing again. Make sure the CAS is loose so you can adjust it immediatly. If it sounds like a lawn mower, the timing may be way off

Is there a way to stab the CAS 180 degrees out on a rotary? Somebody that knows something will have to give you a straight answer, cause on a rotary I am just not sure. Understand with piston engines it is almost the #1 reason why a person can't get a rebuild to start. YOu would not believe how many times I've asked that question (is the distributor 180 degrees out) and a respectable mechanic switchs it for the sake of trying everything and the motor cranks right up.
