issue when starting
last night i went to start my rx8 and as soon as it started the whole car started shaking and the rpm’s went below 1k instead of the normal 2-2.5k on a cold start. i waited a little bit and it started bouncing up and down before once again settling below 1k even tho it was still completely cold. i could tell something was wrong so i tapped the gas a little to see if i could get the rpm’s up and instead they went down to almost 0 and the cel started blinking which i read always means misfire but i’m confused how it could misfire when i’m not moving. also i read misfires are likely coils, plugs or wires but a few months ago i got brand new BHR coils and the correct spark plugs and wires which all have only around 10k on them. i also recently got a new engine which only has about 7-8k on it and i haven’t had any problems while driving since. i turned it off and tried again twice more with the same results and it was undriveable so i had to get a ride from someone else. if anyone has any ideas what could be the problem that would be great because if i’m keeping it a buck i don’t know a ton about cars so maybe it’s something very obvious that i just don’t know. any comments are appreciated, thanks.
