    Default Rotary Problem.

    So I was driving home from a friends house last night, and stopped at a stop sign. I went to drive off and the whole car kinda just trembled really bad, and almost all the power was gone, so I turned off on a little road and got out to check the plugs, but they were all on there good, nothing out of place, So I called up a friend that has Experience in FC's and he said it sounded like a bad injector or Vaccuum Line, So I limped it home, barely. When I say loss of power, I mean it wont drive up hills unless im already moving pretty quick. I took a video of what its doing, its backfiring like crazy and it pretty much stalls unless I keep gas into it. In the video I keep gas into it until around 0:18.

    Check your compression, sounds like it might be a bad apex seal, or a messed up injector.
    Try not. Do or Do not.
