I just recently bought a used 2004 Mazda Rx8 automatic with 120k miles on it. I *%#$($% LOVE THIS CAR!!!!!!!!! Handles Drives and looks unbelieveable! Has a clean carfax history and was literally at a dealership 2000 miles ago for servicing! I only paid 3400 for this amazing looking sports car! My motto forever has been if its too good to be true it normally is. Obviously for all of you that own an rx8 you know 3400 seems like a giveaway for the way they look and drive. Okay enough of the back story heres my issue and i realize there are already multiple threads with this CEL but My problem seems to be a little different then others are describing a need some knowledge and opinions from people who are not haters on the rotary engine!
CEL - P0171 - Fuel To lean
Car Has a little hesitation starting but does always start. Always let it warm up to temp before driving it. Reverse seems to be the most bogged down, and then 1st gear also very boggy, 2nd gear little loss of power but not as bad, and then from there seems to be pretty normal power wise. Coming out of first to better explain the hesitation its as if it is just barely letting gas threw and so very slow roll and then after what seems like forever but maybe only a few seconds it becomes more powerful and takes off. Quite dangerous pulling out on busy streets. It has stalled a few times as well reversing out of parking spots or taking off from a stop sign. Always restarts immediately! It had a power steering issue when i got it. Read some posts on here sprayed the two wires under the air intake box next to the battery FIXED! Put the cable back on No check engine light! Alot more bogged down when light is not on! Cleaned the mass airflow sensor! Still no difference! Lucas oil fuel injector cleaner! no difference. Brought it to a reputable mechanic friend of mine who is very honest about not being very familiar with the rotary engines or rx8 but offered to give it a look for free! He said ill have to bring it in for further diagnostics which may or may not cost me money! Then pulled the cord on mass air flow sensor while car was running it killed the engine he plugged it back in told me to restart it! check engine light back on! He said that it should drive better with check engine light on? that seems strange! Did seem to drive a little better at first but not with the light on its hesitating still same problem! Drove it into mazda dealership, and she did everything but come straight out and tell me i bought a lemon and to resell it asap? SCARY!!!! Put my fears at ease .I WANT TO KEEP THIS CAR! IM NOT A TIGHT AS AND WILL SPEND A LITTLE MONEY JUST DONT WANT OT BE BUYING AN ENGINE OR SOMETHING! PLEASE EXPERTS OF THE RX8 HELP ME OUT WITH SOME PROFESSIONAL INFO!!!!!!
