rx8 issues
So it has been some time since I been on. I started having issues where I couldn't get the car to start, Then unfortunately I got hurt and the car sat. I worked on it the other day, replaced the coils plugs and wires and replaced the old gas in the tank. With all of the new stuff I still had the same problems. It will start and barely stay running if I keep feathering the pedal. It barely runs though and then backfires multiple times. It will not stay running if I don't keep feathering the pedal. This is the same thing it did in the fall where the cat turned red hot from the gas burning in it.
I was going to cut the bolts and open the seam between the downpipe and cat to see if releasing the pressure helped. My next guess was a clogged cat. Any suggestions would help.
Thanks...

P0420 code sometimes will confirm a bad cat.
If it comes up, you can be sure you'll need a new one.

I will check today and see what it shows. It will barely run I thought for sure new coils and plugs would help but it runs really bad. Next I was going to try the MAF sensor next. I guess the gas is passing through and getting lit in the cat. If there is anything else I should look for let me know. Ill try to post a video
Thanks

Most of us do them all together every 35K or so.
Be sure you didn't cross any wires and they are 'snapped' on the coils & plugs.
Check that the wires are separated with a loom and not arcing against each other or on the engine.
