Razz1 02-18-2010, 07:35 PM Covered for 80k miles under warrenty. You can try the RP cat butt... there have been alot of failures. http://www.rx7.com/store/rx8/rx8exhaust.html Bigbacon 02-18-2010, 08:00 PM what kind of failures? mr_a2z05 02-18-2010, 08:04 PM studdering problem, checked everything and thats the last thing it could be but dont know if it falls under warranty cuz i bought the car from a non Mazda dealer used. its a 2004. Bigbacon 02-18-2010, 08:23 PM the cat warranty I think is a USA thing, not a mazda thing. If the cat is bad and you are not over 80,000 then you are covered and can get a new one. mr_a2z05 02-21-2010, 02:34 PM i took it to the dealer and they said its not the cat so im kinda out of ideas. they dont even know whats causing the power loss. Jedi54 02-21-2010, 02:44 PM loss of power is usuallly caused by a few different things so you really need to approach this with a 'process of elimination' mentality Clogged Cat? : check Ignition Coils: How old are your coils? ever replaced them? Spark Plugs: how old are they? Are you getting a CEL of any kind or even the ocassional blinking CEL? if you've ruled out the CAT as a problem and it's not ignition related then it could be a compression issue. The only way to be certain is to have a compression test done. your engine is warrantied 8 years, 100,000 miles. Easy_E1 02-21-2010, 02:47 PM EPA Emissions Warranty LINK (http://www.epa.gov/oms/consumer/warr95fs.txt) Sounds like as Jedi mentioned, it's time for a compression test. mr_a2z05 02-21-2010, 02:55 PM replaced ignition coils a week ago, spark plugs about 6 months, and i got the CEL P0410 but they didnt find anything wrong with that either. only told me to bring it back if the light comes on again. |
