^^so you do recommend me selling my car? I love this car so much, like i dunno what to do.

 

^^^^ wow from a misfire to dumping the car .... talk about throwing the baby out with the bath water.

Dude give us the links for these threads that indicate car is KO'd with a P0302

I've had P0302 and I bet most other owners have as well.

Its just a misfire .... if you're that worried about it get a compression test done.

Let's not go and do anything rash here

 

So I was at the dealership today getting my front right upper control arm ball joing replaced, and I asked them to do the compression test. The have seen how much money I have spent on the car in the past few weeks, so they are going to do the compression test free of charge on Wednesday morning. But still if anyone can stll help me out on some ideas it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys

 

I know what its like to have the ride almost done, and then she throws a curve ball at you.
This is all part of the game. The ride will always let you know how she feels if something is up.
Or if you've been stressing her a bit.

The amount of time and effort I've thrown into the FD is insane. But the car delivers what I ask of it all the time. So its a give and take situation.

There was a trend at one point. Guys who had RX-7's were either single, or soon to be single. Can't have a Significant Other and an RX-7. Its either one or the other.

Over the years its gotten better. But I've also noticed we don't drive as much as we use too. So you can see something got put on the back burner.

I think you're throwing things out of proportion. The car is fine. Just do the standard maintenance and don't worry about it.

 

poetic, thanks man lightened my day a bit

 

So youve never exceeded the speed limit, made an illegal turn, we cant all be gay nancy boys, street racing has been around since Adam was a boy, we dont all drive 4 port slush box's and are called Miss Daisey.It pisses me off when some fellatio expert tries to lay down the law.If Im banned for my opinion,so be it, long live democracy.

 

consider this a warning then- for insulting other members with that fellatio expert comment.



and as he pointed out very nicely to the OP



you can find them all here https://www.rx8club.com/faq.php?faq=...q_user_conduct
in case you'd like to refresh your memory.

 

Agree with WCS, post up the thread that talks about P0302 that will eventually KO RX-8.... Most of the RX-8 owners have this P0302 issue before, I had it myself as well.....
It's just a misfire, you don't have to dump your 8 cuz of that. You are doing the compression test on Wed, see how it goes, you are over-worrying, I think~

 

i am just worried of spending too much money on parts that dont need to be replaced. like i have had the spark plugs done already before the misfire, and im afraid of having to do them again,

 

I had this code too. Coils/plugs took care of it. Actually just cleaning the plugs off with a wire brush made it go away. But I replaced them anyway. Did you replace the plug wires when you did coils and plugs?

 

Mod Edit

 

thanks wcs. I read one sentence of his post and said F this, it's unreadable. I actually made it through the whole thing this time!

 

wow. ive been gone for 2 days and this thread finally got interesting! you guys make me laugh. to the op, after coils plugs wires my vote is the ES sensor like the guys said. and a little free advice, youre spending too much time worrying about your car.

 

Besides the fact that he used poor judgment in the way he replied to you, your statement is difficult to read. You don't need to be an English teacher to recognize that.
We can't follow each post and edit them before they are posted. We are volunteers and do our best to keep thing civil around here. You can help by keeping it civil on your part.

 

Oh noes....we have some internet tough guy here.

schnipster, your post is difficult to read, ESL or not.

And just to let you know once AGAIN, we do not condone street racing in public forum.

We had members in the Canadian forum getting caught already even when they are not street racing. Posts like these will only make it easier for the cops to abuse their power. They DO monitor car forums mind you.

The mods are doing their job VOLUNTARILY. Street racing is a big no no in this forum. The OP is young, naive, and sometimes ignorant about his car. The racing part is bad because that act endangers the driving public.

Also, letting him keep doing his ``thing`` may led to death on the street. Just read this story about the young M5 owner.

http://www.audizine.com/forum/showth...0-crash-5-dead)

The M5 board learned their lessons and its much harsher on the kid from Toronto this year:

And yes, a cop post online after reading it and got the kid.

Moreover, since you don`t contribute to the forum other than drama, you are welcome to GTFO anytime.

And yes, F stands for F. C. U. K.

You're correct
Comment uncalled for, I apologize schipster.

Posts deleted.

 

i apologize as well.

 

lol...i did not mean for any of this to happen guys. ill be sure to say i was following a friend instead of just trying to keep up with him. gotta be stealth nexttime

 

I had the same problem just this morning. My engine light is on and when I accelarated quickly the engine light blinked for about 5-10 sec. I have no idea what this means. I would also like some answers.

 

I would recommend you read these three threads. At least the first few posts.

Then go get the code read.
A lot of places will read it for free, find one.

Once you do get the code read, then let us know what it is(even though we can guess).
We also need your year, mileage, maintenance history, auto/manual, etc.
It's hard flying blind!

 

Its Wednesday, any updates? What did the compression test state?

 

I didnt get to pick up the car, my dad did. They didnt give him any test results, but he left in a voicemail that the motor passed. They did all the resets possible, and that KAN reset. They took it for 3 drives, they say they took it to 7000+rpm and the light didnt come flashing. Does the dealer give you a copy of the compression test performed? I havent taken the car to high rpms myself yet, drove it to school for the first time this morning.

 

Yes, they have to give your results. Have you cleaned your MAF and ESS lately, and are you running premium fuel on a regular basis?

 

i havent cleaned any of those, i dont know where they are located. (i know where Maf is) and i always run 94 if im by a station that has it cause sunoco was bought out, or i run Shell V-power 91(says has that nitrogen cleaning thing in it..)
