Man the rotary engine has amazed me once again. Turns out the hole problem with my engine wasn't with my engine at all. Last night I was having the problem of it cranking and no matter how much gas I would press the car would not recognize any gas at all and the car would die. Well after messing with everything we disconnected the safc that came with the car and bam!!! she idles beautifully! come to find out whoever was messing with the safc before I bought the car messed with it so much that the car wouldn't even idle. So I set it back to factory defaults and now she runs like a champ!

He probably wired it incorrectly. Happens all the time
Don't plug it back in until you've found out where the problem is.

lol, no doubt! My next project is to install an electric fan and an msd6a hope this helps the engine out as well. any pointers on things to do to my engine to help it last a long time would be greatly apprectiated. ex. oil change every 1.5k miles. Thanks.

If you do hang out and drink in your 7, make sure you dont have your keys. One of my roommates passed out in the front yard in his black drop-top mustang gt, his keys were in the radio-only position... DUI.
