I left my rx-8 running with the A/C on lofor like 30-40 min today waiting for someone in a parking lot. When I tried to shut it off 5 min after, the battery and engine light came on. Then tried to start and it couldnt. I turn off the car and set the alarm. The alarm was weak sounding. Came back like 30 min later and it turned over and the battery and the ignition light disappeared . Still going to take it ti my mechanic to put on the reader. Any ideas???
Just had the car fixed by the dealership too.

*EDIT* Be sure your terminals are clean and tight.

I've been searching for a couple of hours now and cant seem to find the procedure for data logging as well as on that topic some tuning procedures and how to's.. I was looking at some discussions a few weeks back but I cant seem to find them again. Any help on data logging for the Cobb Access Port and other tuning information would be awesome. Thanks!

Just be sure it is a rotary-specific compression test. Ordinary compression testers won't give you the full data you need. Yes you can call up a Mazda dealer and schedule the test.

No, battery terminal connections.
This picture is pretty obvious, but the corrosion can exist out of sight between the clamps and the posts, needs disconnecting both to clean clamps and posts thoroughly, then correct and proper re-seating when reconnecting.
