I was having hard starts when the car was warm... 2005 RX8 , 130K miles.
Figured I'd replace the starter motor but the dealer really wanted to test compression. Initially, I said no because I wasn't going to rebuild it if it was bad. However, I reconsidered and these are the numbers. Rotor 1 (front) 670,720,590 (kPa) Rotor 2 (rear) 720,700,710. So the dealer says I need a rebuld for $10K and by the way your battery is bad too. Well I replaced the battery (another thread) and for 3 months, no problems. After a nice hot SoCal summer, its starting to be more difficult but will still start within 1-2 tries. Two questions 1. Is it worth installing the rebuilt starter motor I already bought?
2. How soon should I looking to rebuild given the compression results. Extra credit - When will BHR start rebuilding engines? - I threw that in for fun!:hahano:
