Hey guys, need more help it seems. It may be something related to my earlier issue I posted about regarding stalling at idle, but here goes.
Long story short, I store my RX8 for the winter. Unfortunately, we were hit with a massive snow storm with very cold temps. Because I have performance tires, and with the amount of snow/ice, I can't get it to the storage center until it warms up enough that the ice can melt some on the roads. In the meantime, I have been starting it up and letting it run for 30-40 minutes every 3 or 4 days or so. So tonight, being the fourth day, I start it up. Its a chilly 27 degrees out. Anyways, so I crank the car, starts up rather quickly considering the temps, but it starts to shake a bit, and then the CEL comes up and stays on, solid. I let it run, rev up the engine a few times to redline, cautions not to overdo it because of the CEL. Anyways, I let it sit for 45 minutes, shut it off, wait about 10 seconds, start up and CEL stays on.
Now, I know I need to pull the codes, but being the situation that its in, I can't get it to the dealer. Besides, I want to store it for the winter, just need to get it to my storage garage.
In the meantime, I am a bit concerned. Has this happened to anyone else? Like I said, this could be related to the issue I had earlier, where the car would just die here and there at stop signs.
