something to do with the bac I think, I was told I didn't need it pluged in, it's bolted to the uim and it's a small black thing with a connector comming off of it. Also I just put a new T.P.S. on and it's in range, so we can rule that out.

few people seem to be positive here. If they state: "car won't start" yeah it could be a blown motor, but chances are it's not. Certain members here including myself have experienced a blown motor, but come across like they are bitter and would like others to be the same. It sucks i know, but lets try to be a little more positive. I'm not singling out anyone on this thread, this is a forum based general coment.

from everything he said.... it sounds like he blew it. i hope he proves us all wrong. he has one of those indestructible rotaries then LOL

check for any popped off hoses. did you notice how much boost you were running ?

more boot than usual! But that could have come from the new downpipe and midpipe.

over 10psi is bad..........................

do a diagnostic check...and see if their are ant erros codes...bad water emissions temp sensor...will make the car run like **** on the front rotor..i had the same pproblem and had 115psi compression

No FCD so it shouldn't go that high. He never hit fuel cut, either.

Nah, it's better to scare the **** out of them right away https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png ... Then after you help them trouble shoot and it turns out to be a simple fix they get a big rush... It kind like taking away there drugs and making them go in to a depression then letting them shoot up at the last minut and get high again.. :bigok:

no "Check engine light" It went away when I put the new T.P.S. on.

anouther way to check compression is to pull the pipe off ot the throttle body then have sombody crank it over while you listen at to the intake noise at the throttle body... if you hear even shu shu shu shu shu shu sounds then your probably ok.. if you hear shu shu ph shu pu shu shu shu then you've got a bad apex seal... Somtimes you can tell by this when you can't by listening to the pulled plugs if it a lightly blow engine since with the plugs in it will still try to compress the air in the combustion chamber and force it back in to the other side of the rotor threw the broken/bad apex seal and not let that side pull in the normal amount of air..



If it sounds nice and even then I'd be looking at a possible bad injector on the front primary or secondary rail... You also may want to check your plug wires to the front rotor as I have seen them spark fine while testing them, but still be bad and cause poor idol and nice flamage under any kind of boost...
