ahhhh, now I know why you wanted to take off the front wheel.

Which spark plugs did you put in?
OEM coils?

Are you sure you put the coils back on properly?

Dannobre, do you think that anybody who knew what LF, TF, LR, TR meant would need our help on this? That's how the car ended up where it did.

thats the reason we are here on this forum...to help each other.

but at least TRY to be a genuine rotary enthusiast. i highly recommend u looking up "how rotary engines work" on how stuff works.com

and a easy way to remember ur plug location other than the obvious length of the wires, are: LEADING PLUGS= lower (L), TRAILING PLUGS= top (T).

not tryin' to lecture u. and ur really lucky that they''re giving u a new engine.

^^wtf? thought u're suppose to change the plugs cold? and especially not after starting the car and shutting it off. that'll cause flooding, a double no-no.

but hey, what do i know?
