Hi All,
So I have been trying to troubleshoot my starting issues for the last couple of days. The starter will crank, but there seems to be no "bang", or feeling of ignition. I thought I had flooded it, as we had a cold snap right as I parked it. I have checked/tried
- uninstalled COBB AccessPort tune (this means I have no dash codes)
- Deflood procedure by pulling the Fuel pump fuse
- deflood procedure pulling the leading plugs and ESS
- changing the spark plugs (were very dirty and about 18months old)
- spark plug/coil tester (all plugs get spark)
Also, this may be incidental, but my key fob doesn't work. It stopped working months ago, but the key still worked so I just locked it using the key. Does the 2004 RX8 have an immobilizer that will shut down the fuel pump? Also, will it shut it down for all keys, even my spare key that the fob/remote was working?
I have conventional compression tester (I know it won't be as good as a rotary/dealership tester) that I'm going to try after work today. It may be able to point me in the right direction.
Anybody else have any thoughts?
*edit: I have also noticed in the weeks leading up to this that I get about 30km less mileage out of a tank. Went from 320km/tank to 290km/tank with no change in driving style. I didn't notice a lack of power or anything, cold or hot. Seemed to start fine when hot as well.
