Running Poorly

I checked all the coils and secondary injectors, car runs like it is running on one rotor... very rough, no power.
Second rotor, trailing plug was gas fouled. Are the primary injectors underneath the intake? Wasn't able to locate. There are no vacuum leaks. Do not have a diagnostic machine, is there a way to retrieve codes without a diagnostic machine?
88 RX7 13B Motor Non Turbo
Any help, info greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot.

Now sounds like a damn good time to do a compression test

Car was running perfectly. Parked it, and when I went to restart it, it was running like crap.. happened literally overnight.

Put brand new plugs in it and see what happens. If it doesn't change, do the compression test.

don't even bother trying anything else until compression is tested properly. I had the same thing, ran crappy and rich and lacking power. I assumed it was a bunch of other things and started trying to fix them, just had compression tested the other day and my #2 rotor is toast. If I had done that long ago I would already have new engine in, now it's gonna be a while. So listen to dr0x and get the compression tested, once you know that is fine then start on other problems, or if its gone then new engine time.

Talking ct

I agree, Nothing says freshness like a good old compression test.
