I started the car about 2 months ago and it fired right up. Now it spins but
does not fire up. Any ideas?

Do you have a compression tester?

RX7 or RX8?

If it is a seven take off the exhaust and use a screw driver to check
the apex seals moving in and out.

They sometimes stick if you don't use Mobile 1

If one or more is stuck put some auto transmission oil in the
rotor housings. Turn it over severally times to distribute
the oil. Let it sit for a couple of days and then check the
apex seals for movement.

It should start if the seals are not stuck.

Historically, Diethyl *ether*, with a small amount of oil, a trace amount
of a stabilizer and a hydrocarbon propellant has been used to help *start*
internal combustion engines because of its low 160 °C (320 °F)
autoignition temperature.
