Joel,
Less starting threads and more reading existing threads. There multiple threads on power loss already. Your asking people to diagnose your issue with very limited information and that is just not possible.

Dammit Jim, I'm a doctor.
You told us nothing about the car. So, I will stab at a guess. Clutch is going if it is MT. Or the mechanic replacing the thermostat bent part of the Eccentric Shaft Position Sensor on the pulley.

you need to write descriptive titles for your threads. I have fixed this one but if we see another one from you that just says "help" or some other nonsense like that we will just close/delete the thread.
second you need to put your thread in the correct place. /you have series 1 rx-8 and a problem you want help diagnosing. so this thread should be ( and will be in amoment when i move it) in the Trouble Shooting section not "General Auto" where you started it.
third - tell us about the car. not everyone knows your car. what year , how many miles, how many miles/ how much time has this problem been occurring, what mods etc
