dunno bout the thurday meet you are talking about, but once a month MD, DE, NJ, PA, and now NY meet up at a sushi place to eat, talk tech, talk wuteve, and take photos. Here is the link:

https://www.rx8club.com/ne-rx-8-forum-29/monthly-sushi-night-lower-tri-state-rotaries-md-pa-de-166788/page86/

It started as just MD, DE, and PA. Then NJ started to join, and now NY is starting to join. we rotate which state we meet in every month.

"the mechanic and he said the intake valve was stuck up but some days it runs fine and other days it does not." This is a very concerning thought about your mechanic...

I say CJRC is pretty compotent in figuring out your problemo..

your next step to check for vac leaks is the ol' carb cleaner trick and see if you have any fluctuations in the idle...

Does it idle low and almost die out when it's hot or when it's cold?

Please help a little cute girl out : )
Thank you

There is no "intake valve stuck" in a rotary engine.

SSV has nothing to do with idle/stalling issue.

Stalling issue, could be one or MORE of the following, in the order of "cheap to expensive" : spark plug wires, spark plugs, coils, MAF, Throttle body, Cat Converter, Engine.

Rough idle might have something to do with the above PLUS Engine mount.

P.S. : whenever a girl shows up(or at least profile pic is a girl), all the guys play the "nice guy" card and ... lol Anyway YEAH I saw the CJ thread. Just throwing my 0.02 in thats all.
