The engine is completely stock, and EGR is intact. How do I go about checking them and the OMP and the oil nozzles? My mechanics are having to follow my lead on this one. I still have to pay by the hour (albeit it at a lower employee rate), but I'm not going to dump much more time/money into it.

I don't blame you there. How mechanically inclined is your mechanic and rotary engine knowledge?

OMP. Oil metering pump which distributes proper amount of oil into rotary chambers thru oil nozzle for lubrication.

What I would do if it was my FC I would pour some lucas oil into a chamber thru plug holes and manually rotate for a while and let it thoroughly coat internally. I would ck for good grounding on ECU, ck the batt cable. I, then, would ck for spark to see. I would def change fuel filter and ck to see fuel flow afterward.

After procedure above, I would fire it up and see what happens. It will take a bit of time to get it going if everything works. If not, I would do a vac leak test & see.

Of course, that will be something I would be doing to my own FC but I will not take any responsibility of the outcome, I just want to throw that in as with all suggestion thru any forums.

Talk it over with your mech and see if it all make sense to him. So, overall, you'd be dishing out fuel filters some oil, probably less than 2 hrs of time.

Well we've checked everything as much as we could, and tried the deflood procedure with new plugs and Lucas oil as opposed to ATF, but to no avail. We've decided to give up.

Any advice on what to sell it for now? Lol. I was asking $2400 when it was running and it does need a new left fender, passenger door, convertible top and the leather needs to be redone.
