Car won't idle
Hi guys,
Just seeing if anyone out there might no the cause of this problem or have had the same or similar issue.
My rx-8 has around 47,000km on it. Just had the engine replaced at 44,000km. I was driving my car on the highway when I redlined it. The car just died. Complete lack of power. Electronics were still working. I tried to start my car and in order to maintain low revs I have to tap the throttle rather quickly. If I hold the throttle down the car dies. If I don't touch the throttle the car dies.
Brief overview:
1. Redlined car
2. Car died - electronics still working
3. Start car - Have to tap throttle to maintain low revs
4. Hold throttle car dies
5. Don't touch throttle car dies
If anyone can please help me out as to what it might be it would be greatly appreciated.
My best guess would be a sensor, air, or fuel.

Only thing done is cold air intake. The engine seemed to run fine afterthe install. A few times when waiting at a light it would just stall. For example, most of the time sitting at idle the rpm will maintain around 1-1.2k and then dip to like .8k rpm. When it did that it always felt like it was gonna stall. Only ended up stalling twice.

Time for boost...

yes, screens inside the intake. they help straighten air flow so that your sensors can get proper readings. If the screens are out of position, you'll get improper readings, which could be causing your problems.
There may be other issues. But, start with the easiest
