![Question](https://www.rx8club.com/images/icons/icon5.gif)
I've had my '04 RX8 for about a year now and it started giving me a studering problem around 4000 rpm. It's almost got 65000 miles on it so i changed the ignition coils and i did the spark plugs bout 6 months ago but don't really know what causes this problem i got. Anyone know what i need to do to fix it?

I'm getting a little less miles per gallon, it does it under mild and hard acceleration, and doesn't matter if engine is cold or not always does it. I don't think that causes the gas problem cuz i let the car warm up in the morning for like 15 minutes cuz its cold out there.

i asked a retired mechanic that used to work on RX7's but he wasn't much help. he had me clean the MAF sensor and i changed the air filter befor winter started.

I would run a can of Seafoam on half or quarter a tank of gas and give her hell. It's $8 to see if you have some carbon or gunk buildup. If there is some improvement run another it might do it.
