Does anyone know of any reputable rotary mechanics in Spokane? I think I am in need of one. I have a 2005 automatic that refuses to start. I just tried to deflood it, with no luck. I am now wondering if something else is wrong with it.

 

I'll see if my friend is up there that could help if it is still needed?

 

Not in Spokane but if you care for a drive I high recommend GoodBox MotorSports.

 

I got that issue resolved. FINALLY!!! The only desperate thing I am in need of at this point is someone that has a rotary specific compression tester, besides Mazda. I don't want to deal with a regular one, I tried it and don't feel confident in the results I got. I really want Mazda numbers. But I don't have $150 to take it in to the dealership. If you know anyone that has one of those, I'd be eternally grateful!

 

As much as I'd love the drive, I don't know that I trust my car to make it. I am pretty sure I have low compression, and would hate to have it on the highway and it give out completely. So for now, until I can figure out the smart thing to do, she sits, trying to look pretty

 

If you don't trust it getting there then you may have your answer already. It might be a good idea to try short drives and make them slightly longer to try and provoke a problem (like hot starts for example). If you have eliminated other problem sources like the cat, ignition, starter, etc. you may be able to narrow the problem down without a compression check.

 

There's a shop called rotary automotive in Spokane. may or may not still be there. I assume your issue is already resolved, but for future reference.
