I thought they fixed the pulsation damper issue starting on the FD. :holyshit

For those of you without rotaries... this is what it means when it stops functioning.

Quote:
The fuel pulsation damper is a rubber diaphram that softens the strong pulses of fuel delivered to the injectors. It is prone to rupture which results in fuel leak and engine fire. If your car smells like gasoline while driving or if you notice any gas leak, get it replaced right away. It's around the upper and lower intake manifold I think.


Hopefully my last owner fixed mine :D It can either be replaced by screwing a nut into the area or replacing it with another pd.

What sucks more is running lean on a rotary.
