Can't get above 6000rpm and rough idling
Hey guys, I'm new to the forum(and the rotary engine lol) but today my car started acting weird. Rpms when starting would bounce between 1000 Rpms and roughly 500 where it would start to stall then catch itself . If I even attempt to get up to 6000 rpm the engine seems to back fire and drop immediately. Also makes a ton of popping noises when driving it. Really freaking out because I don't have 5grand to rebuild the engine. Car is out of warranty due to after market upgrades. Please help!!!!!

Once you eliminate the obvious we can work through any remaining problems.

There aren't any check engine lights on, wouldn't the Coils and misfires set off some light? I also have a Cobb tuning adapter and went into the trouble shooting section and P0000 showed up. Could this mean the cat needs to be replaced?

Also where could I order decent but cheap coils? Would these work? http://m.oreillyauto.com/mt/www.orei...n_jtt_redirect

Yes, but you have to buy a HEI spark tester. Checking them with a multimeter tells you almost nothing, checking for spots on the bottom is unreliable. Could swap them around and see if your symptoms change. But chances are if you don't know when they were replace they are bad.

Alright well I just checked my coils for spots and the last one had the big white spot in the middle. I'm replacing them all tomorrow and I'm just praying that's all that's wrong with it.
