Ranned Out gas problem
so i was driving on a trip and was almost out gas.
I drove till i got to the station and about a half a mile before the station,my car started to lose power and sounded weird.
I thought it was the fact that I was almost out of gas. I pulled into the gas station and filled up the gas tank. Started the 8 back up and it still sounded weird. Has anyone ever experienced this and how was it fixed?
I still haven't taken it to a shop. plz help, (i need it) It ahs 57,000 and 1,900 on new engine. 2004 rx8 grand touring.
Okay it still parked it happen on the first. i didn't want to run it like that. I ran it about 3 miles, to park it. It still has no power and I'm scarred it might be my engine again
so i took da mazda dealership and they says it my engine and im waiting on there reply see if it going 2 b covered

I'm thinking that your fuel pump overheated and has failed to a certain degree.
Without the proper fuel pressure, the fuel will not atomize correctly.
We here have started to see a trend of fuel pumps 50k + miles to fail lately.
The pumped used in the 04-08 Rx-8's are a nominal 115 lph. So they suck right out of the box. Add overheating to an already nominal fuel pump and it's only a matter of time before it fails.
The overheating could be that the drivers run the tank to empty and then fill. I don't know that for sure.
