Hi everyone, good to be part of the community!
I got my '05 Titanium Gray about a year ago and am still in love with it (ofcourse..)
After expierincing some power loss at low rpm (maybe vacuum leak) i first of all went to do a compression test at a certified mazda mechanic. He was well aware that the rx8 is plagued with low compression (im at 82k), i asume he was familair with the procedure as i saw the instructions provided by mazda on a printout. It's just that i cant make anything of what he gave me, there's no ' three phases' and no rpm values shown...
probably shouldnt have picked up my car so hastly, and il most likely go back for some info -.-
The worst symptoms im expierincing is that the engine is hardly responding to the gas pedal when really hot (45 min drive), the revs go up like crazy but car hardly moves forward. I gotta press the gas pedal really little to match my rpm to my speed. Once i press the pedal down further the rpm goes up like crazy as speed stay same.. it happens in any gear. What drives me crazy is that when cold or even hot (30 min drive) the engine respond really well to the gas pedal with a good low end power.
Il probably be replacing both CAT, fuelpump and radiator (fans dont stay on after shut off...) next month.
And again, good to have communities like these!
