"The engine starts but stalls at idle. I took it to a diagnostic shop
and they read low compression and told me not to spend any money on it.
However, this is a rotary engine and I suspect it could be something
simple as a throttle sensor or airflow meter. The engine oil is clean,
it does not smoke when it runs, so I do not think that any seals are
damaged (but it's possible they are, I just don't know for sure). I
tried tightening the accelerator cable just to keep it running at idle,
but the adjusting screw came off. I also tinkered with the idle adjust
screw and think I shouldn't have before I did that it would push-start
and run well. Since that time I have gotten a new car and that's why I
am willing to practically give this one away. If you'd like any more
info just let me know."
