Thanks for asking. I also had power loss several times, but only when the engine got real hot. That was the only time it stalled. After Tempo **** drove off it started after quite a few tries and a lot of cranking.
Took it to Windsor Mazda yesterday where they "zoomed the engine" (decarboned). I have fresh ignition parts and air filter and there have been no CEL's.
So...
Furrin cars have become so much a part of our daily lives (Toyota in NA$CAR???) that one sometimes forget the hard feelings many folks have for them. The UAW still maintains separate parking lots for foreign nameplates! I became more self-conscious about our cars (my wife drives a 328i) after moving here a few years ago. Considering the crap the domestics put out for so long (I don't blame the workers for that BTW), nobody should be surprised that people have abandoned them.
That said, I'd buy a Mustang tomorrow...if it handled as well as the RX-8.

yeah, it's funny that Mazda 6 owners have to park in a back lot when it is made in Dearborn but a Ford Contour is ok because it had the proper badge. I used to get knocked for putting Mazda parts on my Ranger but the funny thing was the Mazda parts were made in USA/Canada and the Ford part in China/Thiland. I think it's more propaganda than anything else.
Good luck with the clean, I did the seafoam clean over a month ago.

dudes, if you have black leather seats I would jump all over this one. https://www.rx8club.com/canada-sale-wanted-147/r3-recaros-203318/
....on a side note. I have noticed there is no one from chatham to london on here. Like a big blank spot in SWOnt.

I'd only fit comfortably in those R3 seats if I gave up salami and beer. 
BTW I saw a yellow 8 last evening around 6:35pm near Antonino's Pizza in South Windsor...it had the most BITCHIN' exhaust note! If I wasn't about to pick up a pie I would have chased him down to find out which exhaust he was running...
I think Snrub is from the London area.

I'm going to be at Fanshawe College on the 25th for WOSCA's "charity" autocross event. Last year there were a ton of cool rotaries out (though they were all slower than me for once, heh heh).

those rims are prime! 18inchers? I think they would look better on my car.
Gave my car the LED treatment. Amberparking/fogs, amber corners/fturn signal, reddome/trunk/door/rturn signal/puddle lights. Looks better. All I need now is a clear lens HID headlight unit. I will be a little bit more of a baller with a more stellar setup someday...

How about dim sum @ May Wah Inn? They have a parking lot. Anyone here like dim sum? Or is that just for our Toronto brothers?

Looks like we might have the chicken feet for ourselves, bro! 
Hopefully a few more will chime in and we can set something up. I'm OK most weekends over the next month.
