I did the self compression check by removing the front plugs and turning my e-shaft "psssss, *no sound*, psthump" rear rotor i did the same for "pssssssss, pssssss, pssssss" rear rotor seems to have phenominal compression. If my motor is blown i'm more than likely parting my car out and will probably never buy another rotary powered car, i've hated my expirence with them.

I'm sorry, but i've hated my expirence with my 7, it's been an educational expirence though. I've learned alot about the cars and about the motors, and now i want nothing to do with these cars and motors, they're not practical engines, they get terrible fuel economy, i have to do half an oil change inbetween my oil change, their power output isn't very impressive, worst of all these motors don't last long at all.

Is it hard to start and feels like it has no power? That sucks, my experiences have been excrutiatingly pleasurable.

Alot of blown motors are due to what we in the military call "Operator Headspace and Timing." What exactly happened?
