Rx8 loss off power shut off
#26
So I drove up to pickering from toronto yesterday and so I decided to turn my AC on. So I come to a stop light When I go to give it gas the car just shuts off all lights on the dash come on. So I pull over shut off AC and car restarts and runs fine.
Correct me if Im wrong doesnt this sound like an alternator problem? and if so anyone know where to get one in toronto?
Thanks

HELP! I've invested entirely too much time and money into this car this summer and was so excited to get it, now it is time for me to head back to school 3 hours away in less than a week and it has gone absolutely haywire. At stoplights/stop signs/parking lots, just any time I idle it will sometimes just randomly start idling rough then shut off. It won't start back up right away but it always eventually starts back up but it's completely dangerous to be shutting off at stoplights and things. Mazda dealership couldn't tell me anything other than the fact my air injection pump is bad but that to me sounds like would have nothing to do with it and the problem is obviously a common one does anyone have any fixes for their issue.. without getting a new engine cause this car already had a new engine about a year ago I believe and If you tell me that I might just go sit in a corner and scream.

Read your codes I found my problem to be a ssv stuck open code P2070. I have taken apart my throttle body and have sprayed some Mazda engine cleaner and worked the solenoid valve loose with a hand pump and a screwdriver. Car has ran perfect for about 3 weeks now no stalling but I now I just recently got a check engine light with same code. My next task is to pull out the SSV valve and clean it properly. Throttle body is a pain in the *** to pull out there is one bolt in behind the throttle that's a pain to remove. Get ready for some fuel to spill out also when you remove one of the hoses underneath the throttle body.

hackdss- There is no need to remove the throttle body to get the SSV out.
And when you remove the TB, all you need to remove is the four bolts attaching it to the UIM.
Leave the coolant lines attach and let the TB hang.
Not sure why you mentioned fuel spilling... you never need to remove the fuel line (red disconnect) so remove the UIM.
