Hi All,
I feel a bit guilty for signing up just because I have an issue but I have been searching the forum for a while and can't find a way to solve my issue.
I have a 2006 RX8 PX.
The engine was rebuilt 23,000 miles ago
I normally use the 2 cycle TCW premix however was recently recommended 'normal' 2 cycle old by a friend and have put a very small (200ml) in with the current full tank to see if this has the same performance.
I have recently (3 weeks ago) changed the spark plugs and checked the coils.
2 weeks ago I changed the starter motor for an up-rated 14 tooth version.
The post cat lambda sensor was changed a few weeks ago also.
The engine warning light came on whilst driving to work and was intermittently on and of or flashing for the rest of the journey (40 miles).
For the final part of the journey (1km) it started cutting out when idling (junctions and roundabouts) and now it will fire up and run but then there is an audible click and it runs very rough or cuts out completely. If it gets to the point where it clicks again it runs better before doing the same thing again.
I have taken off the MAF sensor and spreyed some contact cleaner in it and this doesn't seem to have done anything.
It seems like the 'clicking' (which sounds like a solenoid) might be the issue but I am no expert and need to drive the car home :(
Could the premix cause this issue? I'm no mechanic and done all the work myself so I could quite easily have messed it up myself..
Any help would be very much appreciated and I promise to post a picture of my (normally awesome) car and become an active member of the community :)
