OMP line clogged?
So I lifted my car into the air and noticed my omp was covered in oil and dirt so I cleaned it up and now noticed the bottom line closest to the battery is clear which means no oil is going to my front rotor? I also noticed my exhaust tips are watery black but not oily
How do I unclog it or should I just replace with sohn? I think its whats causing my rpms to drop to 750 and p0301 code to POP up with the Ac on after it starts to warm up
It used to stall out and was hard to start had to let it sit for a while but since i replaced
Alternator
Spark plugs
Wires
Coils
Cleaned MAF sensor
Cleaned eccentric sensor

You don't replace the MOP with the SOHN. And, 750 sound normal for idle speed
When did you do all that maintenance?

All of this has been done in less than 4 months I got on alldata and read possible causes for a p0301 code and I saw omp as one thing that could cause it so i looked at my omp and it was dirty and not flowing oil from oil line to the rotor...it used to die on me at stops dropping lower that 750before I fixed those things up my engine bay would be hotter then normal I've also changed my coolant temp sensor I have been noticing the thermostat is growing green crap around it and my upper radiator hose needs to be replaced maybe I'm leaking antifreeze somewhere? Or its not circulating?

Rotary engine + Kansas + one of the hottest summers ever = hot engine bay
Otherwise all that matters is the actual engine temperature. All this generic talk means little to nothing. Sounds like a case of the blind misleading the blind i.e. there is a lot of BS 1+1=3 garbage posted on this forum such as the link above. Most of the people gushing that crap know and understand even less about it than you do so don't go reading this site like it is all gospel.
Nobody can effectively troubleshoot an engine over the internet. All the parts shuffling in the world won't fix a low compression engine, chafed wiring, etc.
P301 is a misfire code. Are you actually getting this CEL code or is this another approximated guess?

I'm from salina both fans function my p0301 only comes on when my engine bay gets really hot it was like 70 degrees and it got hotter than normal with the Ac on (was testing to see if outside temp was the prob... its not) I turned on the Ac and again the idle droped didn't accelerate like it should like it was choking and the code didn't come out of a hat it only comes on when its accelerating bad and Ac is on after a period of time

Saying "my engine bay gets hot" means absolutely nothing unless you can show us the paperwork for your hand temperature calibration test. Every RX-8 engine bay gets hot, like really burns your hand if you touch something metallic hot. It usually means your radiator fans are operating properly because just where do you think the air used to cool your 210+ degF radiator coolant is going? Running with the AC on only increases the temp because now the radiator is receiving hot air from the AC condensor mounted in front of it. Unless you can provide a specific coolant temperature that shows the engine is operating warmer then anything else is just jabberwokky.
Stating that you are receiving a confirmed P301 misfire code while accelerating means something, though you didn't state if it is either a flashing or solid CEL which indicates the severity. You previously stated that the coils, wires, and plugs were replaced. What were they replaced with and did you ever reset the ESS profile (20 brake stomp procedure)?
