I own an '05 RX-8 manual transmission. Kept having a miss, put my check

engine scanner on it and the two things it says is misfire in cylinder 1 (of

course its a rotor its just what the book said) and it says system too lean,

anyone else have problems like this? needs to be fixed before the end of the

weekend.

not getting enough fuel.
check your plugs and coils. That should fix the problem.

would bad injectors cause the system too lean part?

Try a can of BG44k in the fuel tank.

Yes, it can, but that's not the only potential cause.

Vacuum leak might be a cause.
Any leak after the MAF, but before the intake ports will cause this.

A misfire usually isn't the cause.

Could even be a leak at the seal to the fuel injector, though that is massively rare, and is usually found by a fuel leak long before any lean condition can be detected, honestly.

it was running fine, i was on my way home from work yesterday and it was misfiring a bit but

it had stopped. got home checked the cel and cleared it, went run to the store and it did it

again but worse, ended up having to get it towed back home. didnt want to damage

anything by trying to drive it home as rough as it was running

update.... pulled out both coils for the front rotor, both have zero ohms on resistance got 4 new coils ordered, might as well replace all of them at the same time.
