Help please, asap. engine problems
So my friend has an rx8. he was driving and heard this noise. says it was almost like a misfire or something like that. in any case, his car wont idle now, it bogs and dies when it should be idling and he needs to give it gas to keep it running
there are a few things that i've established could be wrong with it from other people telling me,
blown rotary, MAP sensor malfunction, or its flooded
i highly doubt its flooded though. can anyone shed some light?
thanks

It wouldn't be running at all if it were flooded!
Sounds more like either bad spark plugs, or the plug wire boot came loose (which is known to happen).
Blown rotor would be a stretch and you tend to know its coming.... a compression test from the dealer can answer that.
But if he hears a "ticking" noise, I would say that one of the plug wires came loose.

is what loose wire/not bolted down spark plug sounds like.
MAF sensor won't cause "noise"
go to autozone and have the CEL read.

see it probably would sound like that if it got that far and actually ran. when you take your foot off the gas, it dies. theres mad backfiring of some sort coming from the engine, i dunno what it would be

theres some red light that stays on. something with a bunch of lines through it i think, and then the yellow light that shows a picture of the tranny blinks
