hey voska, silly question I have..but what does it do when...you




dump a whole bunch of ATF or MMO into the spark plug wholes. put the car in 5th gear and push it backwards...
atf or MMO is to get rid of carbon and hopefully unlock the engine. when you put it in 5th gear and push it backwards it spins the engine backwards and hopefully unlocks it........ sounds weird but it works. ask me how i know :bigthumg:

i hope u get that fix sounds shitty! i seriouly doubt its locked.. Just bad bad timing, check the starter for sure....

Try compression starting it in 2nd gear. Definitely take the starter off and bench check it or have someone look at it. When the starter decides to go you might not get much forewarning. If it smells gassy under the hood that usually means its getting flooded.

What happened? Did you get it to work yet?



I woulda thought you had too high of a concentration of oil:gas, but you said it didn't crank.

Rob x-7 10-09-2002 06:05 AM
The question is why did you put the MMO and the other crap in your gas to begin with?

Vos is right on. My first rotory was a locked up junk yard motor that I got free this way. I raced it for 1 year to the day till it puked an apex. Not bad for a $300 motor....

guy who bought my car, i just found out he bought a new starter because he did that fuse trick too much

pengaru 10-11-2002 10:25 PM
starter was probably on it's way out and now the added oil in the combustion chamber has improved sealing and resulted in higher compression than before... and the starter kicks the bucket.

vosko 10-11-2002 10:37 PM
if its not one thint its another. i killed my starter after i killed the engine in the TII... that reminds me... i need a starter!
