i talked to the owner today and he says that it wont start but will turn over. he says that it is getting fuel to the injectors but not through them i guess. he says that theres a part that he needs to make it work but he couldnt find the part so well see. he said he would take 1000 for it. what do you guys think? he says there are 215k on the car with the original engine so i will def be checking compression.

thanks for the info. with you guys saying that it might be the trailing ignitor it makes me wonder if what i said initially made sense so ill try it again. from what the guy told me it seems to be getting fuel to the injectors, or almost there, but not into the chambers or intake. i havent looked at it yet and now that i think about it it makes sense that it could just be flooded. if it was flooded and he thought it wasnt getting fuel, im sure he just kept cranking and let it fill up even more, although i dont know how extensive his knowledge of the rotary is, so i dont know how likely that would be. does that change anything, or do you guys still say trailing ignitor?



thanks for all the help guys!

trailing ignitor generates the tach signal ecu fires from tach signal. no trailing ignition = no fuel injection
