Don't know about the rotary, but a half second blast of starting fluid

up the engine" myth. If you put half a can down the throttle body you
will very likely blow something.

I expect that starting fluid is ether. Has anybody tried that on a reluctant rotary?
If it works on the RX8 that would be a real easy solution.
