I have read lots of threads and well not sure where to start.
I bought the car 7 days ago a RX8 2007 231ps
The car started Ok when cold and occasionally when hot after 10 mins
I drove the car flawlessly for 600 miles home
Next day a bit reluctant to start but went eventually the starting got worse and now reluctant to start hot or cold.
When it eventually started it pulled well idled evenly and well worked
It was a bit harder to start today drove to pick up the other half no problems but on the way home it deid at a junction and refused to start untill it was cold and it fired up but will not idle.
When started cold the choke would come on and it ran smoothly until it warm and idle about 850 rpm but now no idle at all just dies there is a lack of hp when it dose get going but dies immediately when I let the revs off.
I did get a engine management light on a few days previous to no idle and it was 0410 secondary air injection fault the air pump definitely runs.
The car did backfired some on the home journey I was winding it out as I do every run.
Previous to the no idle problem the AC would almost stall the engine I put a new battery on it. When the cooling fan came on after the no idle problem it died strait away and refused to start until cold again.
I have reset the KAM and the E sensor
Checked the plugs front rotor plugs looked more coked up the back rotor plugs look right.
I cleaned the E sensor
I cleaned the earth
I took a look at the CAT because the center console under the gear stick gets kinda hot on long runs the outer casing looks like it has been roasted there is like a metal jacket around it which looked corroded and lose.
Oil level is good oil pressure gauge looks good
It sounds like it is running on one rotor but surely the plugs would be wet or coked up lots but they look ok around the electrode.
I checked the coils by pulling the HT lead one at a time to see if there was a spark the first coild had a good spark the others not as strong and one with a weal spark but still sparking. When pulling the HT leads nothing really happened the plugs were getting a spark still but when I pull the the HT lead close to the front the engine almost died.. Hey hang on it still ideled at this point by its self.... it eventually cut out never to idle again!!
The gas stinks of petrol and gives me a really bad head ache
What more to say erm it used one noth of oil in the 1000 ish miles I have driven it it has 92k on the clock and no idea of service history. Strange it would be so bad in such a short period of time..
Aprt from that she smoked a V6 golf and a Vectra SRI pulls like a train or well did
Anyone any tips or clues Please! Thank you!
