wat the lads have said is true im new to rotarys too and had this problem. im compiling a post for all new to rotary of do\'s and donts iv learned things like flooding etc. i found it easiest to take out the plugs clean them heat them to dry them and while there still warm slap them back in and give it a tow start instant start. if your running a high fuel rate newbies let the car warm and turn it off like carl said little bit of throttle saves so much hassle iv learned the hard way  newbie post should be ready by the weekend

hey guys would like to thank all who replied to my thread and like to tell them that my rex is now back to life and purring cheers :god
 
no for more help after a shall run i lifted the bonnet to do some more work and i noticed a light smoke coming up from the turbo area cant see where its coming from up top so its lower down is this maybe the turbo gasket??? maybe someone else has come accross this

ya was thinkin that too my mr2 used to react similar when i blew a hose just wanted to make sure i was on the right path
 
:burnoutthanks alot its good havin other brains to pick there isn many car nuts like me up here and no good mechanics i know of

still in bother :3Confused
 
ok lads had sucess and failier took out the plugs and cleaned and dried them and checked every fuse tow started it and bang into life
 
but bairly she is throwin lots of blue smoke out the back and is not goin above 0 on the boost guage only negative readings
 
i had the plenum off changing the leads could it be the hoses on the wrong way round on the plenum?? or is one of the vacum hoses gone ?
 
any help is greatly appreciated KAR

cheers dave thats good to know im on a learning curve it my first rotary but lovin it :driving

its a new enough battery and was reading 12.9 when this happened. its turnin the engine fine just seems like she is lackin the spark its weird

it has been left over night and i tried to restart her this evening it would hardly still be flooded? it ran for a mo but needed trottle to stay lit almost like a vacum hose had gone. ill take out the plugs tomo and try a push start as no towing eye its behind the kit
 
as for the leads i made sure the l and t were put on in the right order but it had done this before that happened i knew one lead was damaged and thought this had gone so got the magnecor leads to replace the standards
 
thanks guys hope this works

heres the problem my fd rex wont start its turning over and a very rare time she goes to ignite with a little grumble but fails. the last thing i was doin before this happened was i had the dash out to fit a rollcage discinnecting the the steering wheel and all the connections around that area maybe i triggered something? i have fitted magnecor leads and its gettin spark down the leads ( checked with multimeter ) i had only serviced the car few weeks before and put 9\'s on leading and trailing.
 
Any ideas anyone i just cant figure it out prob something simple but not sure. it was running perfect before this just drove accross ireland and scotland with her any help very much appreciated

hi i took off the plenum to change the spark leads and coils and took pics of where the pipes go back but unfort my computer crashed and the pics were on it could anyone help its really only the ones the headlight side i have the prob with
 
thanks kar
