S,
I have searched the internet AND this forum up and down and I haven't been able to satisfactorily answer your question. Some of the 'performance' shops may work on suspension, etc... but they all shy away from the power train.
Anyone else? There are 'rotary' shops in Austin, San Antonio and Dallas... None in Houston? Should we start one? :-)

I'm also new to the Houston area and need some help w/ my 04 rx8, check engine light's coming on and it's not idling the same :-/
I stay in the Cypress area, if anyone knows of a good mechanic or someone that won't rip me off, this would be super helpful!!

First off welcome!
Is your car stock? What have you tried? Are you willing to work on it yourself, or with help?

Hi lsmrls, do you have an Android? If you do, do you have $30? You can get a bluetooth OBD-II adapter and purchase Torque in the Google Store. If you can do those 2 then you should be able to read the CEL codes and to log some stuff for us as well, such as AFR, STFT, LTFT, Voltage, etc..
If you don't have both of these but are willing to come up north to Spring I'll give you a hand.
