Is sad to see the 8 on a tow truck...:( .....especially at mid night......

So this is what happened. The car started out very nice as usual. When I was approaching a right turn after driving for approx. 8 mins, there was a sudden choke followed by a weird sound which sounded like this "Pooooffffff". Afterwards, the engine died.

I tried to start it back up but failed........I was planning to go bubble tea but ended up on a tow truck......-__-


Will be going to the dealership early morning.....hopefully everything will be fine........and nothing $$$$$$$$.

Anyone experience this before??

Ouch, good luck.
Mine died driving as well, but it just ran REALLY REALLY rough and I was able to get it in a parking where it died. Never had a sudden stop or poof of any kind.
Mine turned out to be coils...

Berik, if yoru engine fails, don't forget to update the other thread I started! it's piling on!!! 3 engine failures on the list now.

Will do Footman!

Heading to scarboro mazda now. Will post updates later on~

Sounds exactly like what happened to mine in the spring! :(

Able to get a quick reply from Scarboro mazda today.

Front engine rotor was busted -______-

Hopefully I don't have to wait too long ..........

it would be interesting to add which rotor failed in the stats. With both of my engine failures it was the rear rotor.

Wow, sorry to hear that Jay, but look on the bright side, new motor!

BTW, how do the new rims look on the car?

Is yours a black rx8? If so, I think I saw it in the bay today at Scarb.

Yea Rui, can't wait for the new motor, hopefully it won't take long.

The rims looks awesome!!!! Stealth mode now =P .

Will take some pics for you once I got the 8 back haha

Your car looks in good shape. My 8 was beside it for a bit, hope you get yours back and running soon.

Yea hopefully can get it back soon.

Mark told me the engine is on backorder from Japan......might take a few weeks

uh huh.

Joe, so are they shipping brand new engines from Hiroshima now for warranty program? No longer remanufactured ones from USA right?

From what I understand that is the case right now.

I told them to let me rebuild it...but we're not allowed to open the engines up.

hate the waiting period :(

Thanks for all the help once again Joe !

I hope mine breaks before the warranty period is over or never at all......since I'm coming to the 6 year mark....

Stop pimping your truck!

I almost had my car die tonight. I shut it down earlier this afternoon a bit too early and knew the chances of flood were there.

Tonight at minus 12 is crank quite a bit, but using what I learned from this forum I did not back off letting it crank. After about 6 cranks it fired in a rough choking fury.

All is good now.

LOL ~ The Chrysler 300 is my temporary winter car now =P

omg.......they delay the engine again ........I'm really getting out of patience......!!!:mad:

So if you suspect it might flood, you let it keep cranking until the engine fires up? Sorry to be a noob for asking this question.

Ouch, get used to it!!!! mine took 4 ever

yes keep cranking. but stop for a few seconds then put your foot to the floor which stops fuel from being injected i know its a bit counter intuitive, but keep cranking it may sound like its about to start stay calm and keep your foot to the floor till it stops sputtering and is just turning over should take about 30 seconds. then wait another 30seconds to let the starter cool. then try to restart as usual should take a bit longer to start put not too long.

okay, similar thing just happened to me...after cruising from dt to hey 7 on 404 @ about 110, i was coming to a stop at the traffic light...i had let off the gas and after i came to a stop, i realizdd my car was really really quiet...i checked and saw that my engine had stalled probably while in motion...it didnt make ay strange sounds...when i started it up again, it took me a while. i had to press on the gas while turning the ignition to start up, after that i couldnt let the engine idle at lower than 2k or it wud stall again, after a few minutes the car was fine... anyone knows what happened?

whoa.. what the fuck is going on eh??? all of a sudden...

I blame solar flares :)

uh oh......not a good sign man...........the first time I experience this.....the engine was able to fire back up...........

after a few more months.........no luck........

finally got the 8 back !!!!!:)

how's it feel?

lets hope the engine doesn't blow up again.
