Hello new from TN
Hello,New guy with a 2004 RX8,with 72,000 Im having trouble with starting and stalling when the engine is warm.
Maintenance i have performed is new NGK spark plugs wires,every 30,000,Coils started going bad at 60+ thousand i replaced with cheap ebay coils worked for 5,000 miles,then i ordered some from mazmart the updated version.I am still having the problem.
The only cel i had about 10,000 miles ago was a oxygen sensor for bank 1.any ideas before i take it to the dealership?

hot starts can be a sign of low compression. what starter do you have, still have a cat, was fuel pump ever replaced?

60k+ on original coils is no good.
cheap ebay coils is no good.

I did the rest of the maintenance besides the ignition coils. I dont think ignition coils would of kept it from dying,i have never heard of a car going bad from not having a ignition coil changed.

Yeah i contacted him hes got 3-4 cars ahead of me and doesn't have the slot open to take the motor out and put it back in the car.
Im going to college and trying to figure out the best way to move with this,To either sell it or rebuild it,How long do rebuilds usually last if you take really good care of them?
