I have a 2004 RX8 automatic with 78k miles. The car sat for about a year or a year and a half. Everything looks good on the car so I bought it knowing that the engine is not turning over. Got the car towed home and got it running after deflooding the engine for about an hour. Got a new battery since the old one was from 2012 and I blew it by overcharging it at work lol.
I can get the car to start up. Every time the engine is warmed up or when the coolant gauge reaches near the middle, the car dies when I place it in reverse or drive. It is fine in Park, but that's when I'm not switching from Drive or Reverse to Park. Not sure about Neutral. If I don't let the car warm up and place it in Reverse or Drive, it is fine. I can even leave it in Drive until the car warms up and it will still not die, unless I switch it out of Drive. Scanned for DTC and could not find any codes.
Is this a fuel pump issue? Torque converter? I don't want to pull the engine out yet unless I know it's time to rebuild it, which I should anyways since it's high miles.
I have not changed the spark plugs, coils, or spark plug wires. Also did not change or add new gas, coolant and engine oil yet. However, I did remove the coils and checked beneath for white spots which I did not see on any of them. Also pulled out the spark plugs and cleaned them. Was going to replace them, but they are like $20 each. Transmission fluid looks good; checked it when the car is hot.
Just trying to see if anyone have dealt with this issue before I put more money into the car.
Here's a video I recorded:
