Well after I was told me car started. I found that it really didn't start. So my mom went behind my back and set up and appointment at a local import shop that said they had a rotory specialist. Well today I towed my car down there (all the time with it in gear trying to start it). It was a no go, it got a lot louder when I had the gas depressed, and it was popping a lot, so I figure it was trying to start but it just couldn't.
But right now I have the car down there and they are going to be doing a check, and I am praying that they don't **** anything up.
I still have no idea why it won't start. I have redone the CAS like 10 times. I checked the CAS resistance, set the TPS 3 times, adjusted the air screw on the TB. Checked the BACV valve reistance. Looked at the FSM wire diagrams to make sure that I had the fuel injectors wire on the right fuel injectors. It sucks.
Plus this car had a new clutch, rebuilt engine, rebuild transmission, rebuild slave cylinder, brand new down pipe/pre-silencer/cat back, rebuilt fuel injectors, etc... And it still won't start

Make sure they contact you before they do any actual work for you to approve it.

Just because they have the title "Rotary Specialist" doesn't mean they know what they are doing. Just that they are slightly more versed with rotary motors than the other mechanics there.

to earn the title specialist you have to know what your doing or else you wouldn't be a specialist.But like Nemesis said make sure to have them call before they do anything to your car.
Probably not.
j200pruf, take word of mouth before having someone work one your car. Know that the person that is working on your car KNOWS what they're doing by asking for references. There are many people around here that say they are "specialists", but theres only one that I would go to because of what people have said.
Just my two cents...
