Those aren't codes?

Yes sorry my bad. Thus is what I get in the scanner. I have no idea what those parts are

That's a menu of the computers on the car. Engine control, transmission control, airbag/restraint and ABS controllers. There's nothing to solve, it's just asking which system you want to look at. If you click into each one there might be codes/options.

Are there actual problems with the car?

Yeah bro ofcourse there is something wrong, ny check engine light is on. And when I got it scanned we got these results. This scanner doesnt only show a fault code but it also shows what the fault code is. Thats what you see on the screen. To begin the car gets hot, but doesnt iverheat. It idles at a temp after half on the meter instead of before half. And when it reaches that temp it stays there, I would like that idle temp to be lower. The car doesnt have a thermostat btw, thats how I bought it.
Additionally, after it reaches that temp (stays there, doesnt get higher) I feel the car not taking gas as quick as it should, even turned off a couple of times while driving with AC on.
In my country not many people know about rotary engines so thats why I am asking on this forum..🤧

It's not though. It's just a list of systems, there are no codes shown on the screen. Codes look like P0171 or similar.

I would start by putting a thermostat back in, that's... very strange. Then check if the engine undertray is still there and if the fans are turning. The undertray is key to cooling the engine and people throw it out not realizing that.

You may want to use your scanner to check what the actual idle temperature is in degrees. The gauge on the dash isn't reliable.

Have you already read rx8help.com article for new owners? There are fundamentals there you need to know.

No actually I haven't. But with helpful guys like you around I dont need to, lol. But I will still check it out. And ofcourse I will start by doing all those thing you suggested. Thanks bro I will let you know how it goes!
