My 2004 RX-8 with AT has been plagued with a stalling problem the past couple of years. It idles rough at stoplights and will occasionally stall starting and while driving. The first time we experienced this the dealer replaced the spark plugs and computer module. It’s in the shop right now and the dealer is at a loss.

Does any body have more info on this problem?

Thanks,
Steve

New engine huh. Do they replace it with another one that's going to crap out after 25,000 miles? What is the root cause? It doesn't seem like they can do this for long and stay in business.

tell em to replace the engine?

Did you have the most recent recall done? Compression/vacuum testing?

04 AT=kiss of death

Your engine is toast.

Cause - Heat

Solution - Replace your engine, Add another oil cooler, Start using Synthetic Oil because it resist heat better, and Drive it HARD.

Man, do a Freaking Search for This forum's sake.

I DID several searches a-hole and it turns up a bunch of BS like I'm getting here. A lot of opinions with no substance! What exactly do you think this forum is for if a guy can't ask for some help from fellow owners?

then how come when I search, the results came up with TONS of useful information ?

Might have something to do with your *search* skills. try to come up with terms like "04 engine stall idle rough" and so on.

I dont want to act like an a-hole. but come on, your question has been answered like 10 thousand times every month.

I guess you're just a freaking genius. Have fun with your little worthless forum.

thank you, 5 posts.

why dont you try to use the time to study your search skills ?

google is your friend.

We will!

Thank you!

wow. So was there some particular answer that you would have accepted as fact? Seems like opinions are all anyone can offer w/o actually doing some kind of diagnostic work on your car.

This forum is great for getting answers, tho sometimes people get a little irritable w/the same questions over and over. Being a public, relatively anonymous internet forum, there's always some "a-holes" - thanks for identifying yourself as one w/in 5 posts.

FYI - the "a-hole" you're referring to gave you enough keywords to find your answers. Your attitude should ensure that you don't get any more "no substance" help.

I always thought everyone here is sweet as pie at all times. Shows what I know, right?

sheesh. I tried to get a little more info & help, but noooooo. Somebody has to get their panties all in a wad and insult the whole damn forum.

dat's what happens when you try to be helpful. Shoulda used more "yes, sir" - "is this what you're looking for, sir"

now I'm jaded, and all newbs will just get the ole' http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r39/dmc27sinned/smiley/wavey_f_off.gif

oh, and just to be sure - the way I wrote it the 1st time doesn't read quite right. Should read like this: FYI - the member you're calling an "a-hole" gave you enough keywords to find your answers. Your attitude should ensure that you don't get any more "no substance" help.

In before the lock.
