I just recently bought a 2004 Mazda rx8 with a 6 speed transmission in it and 114k miles. I saw it at a mechanics shop and they never could get it to start so they said it needed a new engine. The guy didnt believe them so he took it to the dealership and they said the same thing. Said it was losing compression. So I bought it for $500. Got it to my house and out of curiousity i went out and tried to start it. After turning over for about 5-10 seconds it finally started. I was as giddy as a school girl. I drove it around for about 30 minutes and it drove wonderful. Great pick-up and take off and ran fine at idle. Got home and killed it in the driveway and tried to start it back up and it wouldnt start again. I let it sit for about 5 minutes or so and tried to start again and after about 10 seconds of cranking it started up again.
From what i read on the forum my rx8 wont start when hot which is either a fuel pump issue or a compression loss. If it is the compression loss what can i do for it? I really could use the help. This is my first rx8.
