A rotary engine can stand much higher heat temps then that of a piston engine. When u start the engine its usually lost the heat and very cold, therefore most rotary's (besides the rx8) have a pull start aka manual choke.
I bought my rx7 for dirt cheap because the auction guys i bought it from said it wont idle. Little did they know about the car. I started it right up. They thought i was King Arthur from the Sword in the Stone.

Come again ?
 
Bouncing idle is usually connected to too much air or fuel, and the O2 sensors and ECU can't compensate correctly. It's not a show stopper. Usually happens when you do so much as replace the air filter, or the old one gets clogged.
 
Excuse me sir, if you are talking about a rotary then I do not mean to offend you, but you are wrong.^_^

hahaha... That's ok. You're not on the bad track yet.

But I still need explanation of the first Rotary faux-pas - The one about the pull start and the heating up and such. Just want further explanation as to what you are saying.
 
there is no explanation, rotary engines suck. dont ever buy one.
they eat gas and are unreliable:ph34r:
