I'm having the same problem...I had to pull over to the side of the road because the car wasn't accelerating and traffic was coming fast

Same issue

Hey so I have the same issue as this guy that you are all helping, Here’s the info on my 8 before you guys start giving me ideas haha. It’s 17,000 miles on chassis but it sat for a while so engine was toast when I got it, I replaced it with a brand new crate rotary engine from Mazda. Installed it all myself with a mechanic. Everything works perfect except I have this same exact issue. Mine is an automatic though so it gets the misfire and engine blinking at 6k rpm and WILL NOT go past. If I’m parked I can rev it past it fine. I have replaced coils, spark plugs, spark plug cables and most everything else on this car because it sat for so long. It does not have a cat, I have a catless down pipe. I already got a compression test even though the engine is brand new and the engine passed with flying colors. Works great. But I still have this very little acceleration issue. Sorry for adding on to this I may have missed something when I read through all of your responses. Any ideas? All help will be appreciated
