i think my rear rotor decided it and the apex seals didnt want to be friends anymore.



2nd gear pull, let off, coast down, turn into my street. ****. its idling like ****. get it up the driveway. idles like ****, revs like ****. all lopey and bleh.



tried pulling plug wires to see if anything happened.



besides absolutely shocking the **** out of myself more then a few times.

it seems like pulling the rears doesnt do anything, and it died when i pulled both fronts.



oh boy. this blows. now whered i put this compression tester.



also, the thing does nottttt want to start. but like, it seems like my batterys dead. everything dims and it jsut chugs along real slow.

and it was acting weird before that too.



id come to a stop with it in neutral, and when it got ot idle all the lights dimmed to off and the car would die. then id have to jiggle the pos terminal cable and start it abck up. happened a few times. related? maybe?



also, at idle it used to sit at -15 to -20 vac, now it bounces all around -10. damnit.

sounds like you have multiple problems going on.



Fix the loose battery connections first then see what the car does.....





Overheating can DEFINATELY be a fucked up ducting issue. To me, that is the most important thing on a rotary car.

i had a similar problem, long story short turned out to be the batery causing it all, check ya batery out load test it and check ya eletroyite levels etc, change my battery in the end and the over heating etc all went away
