Welcome to the forum smile

Have you had a compression test on the engine?

Need to know more about the car, and possibly even pics?

What year, mileage etc.

Join a rotary specific forum e.g. http://www.rx8club.com/ (US based).

Coils are known problems. Changing every 30K seems to be the guide.
Premix in the fuel can prolong the life of the engine. e.g. Protek R.
Get serviced by a rotary specialist.
