DISCLAIMER:
First of all, don't even dare to ask me to search. I searched the website very well and read a lot. Nothing seems to match the symptoms I am seeing on my Baby RX8. :lol2:
PROBLEM:
I use my 8 as a DD and made it through the harsh Canadian winters. Recently it has started acting weird at start-ups.
SYMPTOMS:
As, I fire-up the engine it will struggle to hold the idle and probably die 6 out of 10 times. If I blip the gas a little bit on startup and to push the RPM above 2K it will return to a normal idle at approx 750 RPM. Sometimes, if I mis-time the gas pedal blip a couple of times, it refuses to start, probably light flooding (my guess). :mad:
It Drives fine, never stalls at stoplights, accelerates as normal, the problem is just during the start-ups. :)
QUESTION:
Has anyone ever had this problem ? If yes, what was your solution ? Is it the dreaded Compression loss ?
MY EFFORTS:
I replaced the spark plugs last weekend, wll do the coils and cables this weekend.
GETTING TOWED STORY:
The other day, I was driving back from work, stopped over at Starbucks, returned, mis-timed the blip and the m*********r refused to start. Tried Mazda deflooding procedure, didn't work. So towed it home that night. Tried firing it up after 2 days , it was roaring in the first go like nothing happened. :uhh:
SPECS:
RX8 GT, 6 Speed MT, Tien Coilovers, Aftermarket Cat/catback, 100k Kms :rolleyes:
