[quote name='1revnrex' date='May 14 2005, 10:12 PM']Yah people are quick to say bad motor, N/A rotaries are pretty tuff, 12A rotaries are just about bulletproof! Throw a turbo and a bad tune on a rotary and its toast but thats the same for any motor.

i dont drive mine that hard, unless im hanging with trammell of course, but you know, 2 se's cruising around arent going to be moving too slow.
it seems like alot of people like to jump to a blown seal for an answer to any major problems.

hah, my 12a saw 9k rpms about 10 times and never had any issues ever. I also premixed heavily as well(4 oz per fill), which made my motor run 1000X better than before i started premixing. If i were you guys, I'd start premixing, you WILL see a improvement in idle, as well as just all around driving. try it !

So do I, it helps bump your compression a bit, every little bit helps on a high mileage motor. Also if your omp were to become clogged or you were to crack a meter line from the pump itself you wouldnt eat a rotor up because you would be all pre-mixed and what not.

we did the ghetto unofficial (open spark plug)comp test, but it works well enough for us!

[quote name='Feds' date='May 16 2005, 01:25 PM']Are you starting the car properly?
Before you crank, floor the pedal and release it. This sets the fast idle cam, and makes the car start easier.

youre saying thats the "proper" way to start it? where is the fast idle cam located and would the tb being rather dirty and sticking have anything to do with this?

i thought the car was feeling pretty dang quick, i can onyl imagine when i get the ports to open.
im thinking about wiring them open.

Fast idle cam is in the throttle body. That's why there is a coolant line that goes there.
A dirty/sticky TB is never a good thing, but in this case, it doesn't sound likely.
