7000 RPM Stutter, CEL Flashing
Hey everyone,
Was passing a guy from a stop yesterday, shifted at 7000, the engine stuttered and i had to slow down before accelerating again. The CEL came on, flashed for about 10 seconds then went off. I havent had an issue since that even with accelerating at high RPM's.. Any ideas??? Should I take it to Mazda?
Thanks,
Andrew

The same thing just happened to me! As soon as my car got to approx 7k rpm I experianced power loss like I deployed a parachute and the cel started to blink for about 10sec. I wanted to see if I could reproduce the problem so I did it again with exactly the same symptoms at the same rpm.
Driving while keeping the rpms below 7000rpm doesn’t cause the problem but unless it is my imagination I have noticed a slight power loss. I am taking my car to the dealer on Friday. Anyone have any insight as to what this could be? Thanks

I have the lastest flash, recall work done, etc, etc, etc... I'm getting tired of bringing this thing to the dealer.... and its not even worth it to trade it in...no dealerships want rx-8's for some reason right now. They keep giving me lowball offers.
