PROBLEM SOLVED!!!

ok so finally, today i had the time, money also appropriate weather to finally diagnose and fix my rx8!


soo the night before, i was searching the symptoms of my car, and i found someone with the same start up issue.. they had a clogged cat.

i figured since i had the car on jacks, id try it.

removed the catalyctic converter.. and a piece of charcoal like crap fell out. lol
so i gutted the ******* thing. put it back on. changed the oil. got a new battery. DEFLOODED the engine. AND IT RUNS AMAZING!!!!!

i then changed spark plugs/wires/ignition coils AFTER.
NOT my fuel pump thank god.

but now im putting money away slowly for BHR resonator/midpipe.

 

Sounds like a happy solution. I also am saving for the newest BHR full exhaust system under testing in Arizona now as we speak.
