I have been attempting, after repeatedly reading every thread on the airbox and how to remove it, been trying to remove mine. Zero success. I am very strong and cannot compress the accordian anymore than it is currently. Also I tried to pry the top part up but can only get a max of an inch of space so I can barely see into the housing where the filter is. What I see inside is a k&n filter that is just rattling around (I can poke it and move it pretty easily around with my finger).
EDIT (Just ripped it out, caution to the wind style, pulled out the loose rattly filter. Any idea what it is or if I can use it? should it have been attached? Pics below are of the view with a finger gap, the k&n out and on my counter, and the final pic is of the airbox how it is now.
That's my main issue as I want to change my coils/wires and all that jazz today.
In other news, I tried to get to the eshaft sensor (ess) and realized from underneath the car I'd have to remove the undershroud (plastic doohickey with all the screws to protect from rocks and dirt and water) which is a PITA because it's screwed into EVERYTHING else with those super annoying often stripped little plastic screws.
Am I missing something? Do I have to remove that shroud for sure? Are the sparkplugs hidden behind it too?
I'm really frustrated because I watched all the tutorials and read the DIY's last night and that wasn't mentioned and everything I've tried has kinda backfired. This should have been waaaaay easier.
Again sorry if this is a repost or I missed something. I did search. I did. hah.
Also sorry for the frustrated tone. It was my first time working on the car so I shouldn't be surprised I had trouble. My own fault for expecting it to go smoothly.
I have a 2009, MT, GT, RX8. Just bought last week.
Recent issues have been misfires on Cylinder 1 and trouble with coldstarts and once in a blue moon hot starts. It never fails to fire just takes a while. Also idle is rough after and flashing engine light till I drive a bit.
From what I've read this most likely is an ignition problem so I'm replacing my coils, wires, plugs, and bracket today as well as cleaning the maf and the ess and doing a NVRAM reset. Battery is new as is the starter so no worries there.
Also bought some throttle body cleaner and wanted to clean that too.
Cheers, for tips and help~:bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:
