im not completely retarded, but i cant even tell if my car is turning over or not. it seems as if my starter isnt engaging. i tried removing the air filter and spraying starting fluid with no luck. it doesnt fire at all. i had an 83 (i now have an 87) and it used to flood itself and i havent pulled the plugs yet to see but i was just wondering if there was anything else that would cause this. rotaries are so quiet when cranking i cant tell. it was running fine when i parked it. it really nice out today and all i want to do is drive my 7 with the sunroof open https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif

when cranking the engine its quiet, "when" it does fire its loud, but since its not firing, a rotary is pretty quiet because of the low compression. i live next to a highway, so its not overly loud, but enough background noise to make it hard to tell if its indeed cranking or the starter is just running.

Oh, I see. So every now and then it starts? I am guessing check your plugs man.
|
go ahead and check your plugs and BTW u said u took off your airfilter and sprayed starting fluid..where? in intake ducts or throttle body?
|
i just pulled off the air filter cover, pulled out the air filter, then sprayed it up the intake tubing.
|
Did you try jumping the starter?
