Whats the car? and where are you?

Take it to a mechanic that knows what they are talking about...A mechanic thats says it probably needs an engine rebuild is useless imo

Flooded just maybe? Im sure theres a guide on here to help you start a flooded car. A little more info would help diagnose the problem.

Most normal mechanics know very little about rotaries.

As Daz said, it could be just flooded - 10 minutes would have it fixed

FTO-Rex should be able to help you out
