Help Rotor speeds issues :(

Okay so my car was towed to my dealer starter was changed,
car started up fine,

When my dealer completed the compression test
the results where weird both rotors comprssions are good.

The issues lies with in the speed of both Rotary one is faster than the other so the system is giving a warning to report to mazda.

Has anyone ever heard of something like this....

05 Rx8 manual 103022km coils and spark plugs & wires where changed aug last year. the car takes 45mins to start when going over 4000rpms the car wants to cut of it hesitates, multiple misfires..

So I was called to the dealer and was told that the two chambers with in the rotary
Are giving a fail. The rpms are not running the same..
So Mazda Canada requested that a check list needs to be completed
So decarbing resetting of the system re do the compression test
And rechecking of something before they approve my new motor.
So will keep you updated

They have to run the same speed... Both rotors are connected to the same eccentric shaft. YouTube has plenty of videos of how a rotary works, might want to check them out.

How many km's (or miles) have you put on the car since the coils, plugs, and wires were replaced?

BC.
