why did u have to swap engines? it sounds like it's running on one rotor. double check the coils, plugs, and wires. if u pull the leading wires one at a time while it's running u'll find out which rotor isn't firing.

But since the car is a rocket once he opens the secondaries it kinda throws a wrench into that theory...

I would pull the fuel jets and make sure you don't have a clogged jet.
