2004 Rx8 Stalls in the Highway
I have posted this before:
Hey all, so I have a 2004 rx8 with about 78k miles. While driving on the highway for about 20 mins, when I have to brake and slow down, the RPM needle goes down to the idle state than the car would automatically shut off. I would have to wait a minute or two before starting the car again and it takes sometime before the car could idle properly (The car struggles to stay on)
Since than, I have checked the Coils, fuel pump and change the CAT. The car is still having the same issues. I was told to check the MAF and compression of the car.
I was planning to buy a MAF online to replace my older one because I saw another thread which had the same issues as my car. Once they changed the MAF, it fixed the problem entirely. Any other suggestion will be grealty helpful.

Screw gas mileage
Given what you've already done, i say clean the MAF first with a spray cleaner available at any auto parts store, or like walmart.
if not, get the compression check, you might need a new engine
