I'd finally like to part ways with the 8. I don't have the time or the resources to keep working on the beloved rotary. She's on her second engine now, sitting at 55k. 143k on the body. Black leather interior, grand touring model. Bose stereo, gps, heated seats, 6 speed manual. Mishimoto aluminum radiator, K&N drop in filter, brand new powerstop drilled and slotted rotors and pads (front and rear) just installed and broken in. Tires are in good condition. Body is in good condition aside from an oh so lovely individual that decided to slam his door into my driver side back door and roll out last week. No longer has roof rack.

The issues: Power steering went out upon reinstallation of the new engine. I've read about the reset method, although I cannot seem to get it to work again. My best bet would be to take her to a shop, but I don't have the time.

She doesn't like to idle, and I can't for the life of me figure it out. I've reset the KAM, and that worked fine for about a day. Coils, plugs and wires are pretty new. Eccentric shaft position sensor is clean. Seafoamed it about 3k miles ago. Cat is honed out. MAF sensor has been cleaned/replaced. I've hit a wall trying to troubleshoot this gripe, and again, don't have the time being in an active duty position for the navy. I've always changed the oil every 3k miles with pennzoil 5w20.

If anyone is looking for a solid parts car, or wants a project car, this is for you. I just don't have the time to continue tinkering with her as I've recently purchased another vehicle. I'd like to get 5k obo. Money talks. Clear title in hand. I also have the previous engine sitting back home if you'd like it for parts. You can contact me via text or call at 717-398-5238. My name is Brett. Thanks!
