has it been eating coolant for a while?
if the coolant seals fried it was only a matter of time before the motor stopped working.

i hope you know that it's bad for a rotary engine to sit for too long because the seals go bad after a while

if the battery doesnt charge while the car runs, alternator went to shit.
