I have 2004 AT 32k rx8 .... i never had this problem before...this is my first winter with aem intake...and i think thats the problem. car is a little slower now i have less than 3/4 gas in my tank and i did 30 miles only...and the worst thing is. I started the car like always . just to heat up like everyday i didnt drive today. I heated up and i accelerate while i parked and check engine was blinking and shows up and it doesnt want to go back :D...and stay. what can be the problem. i had situatiol like that before with this intake but i was driving and it was blinking but it didnt was on... sorry for my english thx guys

blinking cel usually means misfire--might want to get the code read to make sure

change plugs, coils, and wires and that should take care of it

I changed coils plugs sparks and wires 2k miles ago..... i didnt have this problem last winter but i had oryginal intake...maybe the air was to cold or something and intake took too much air or something

try this:

turn key to on position
push on the brake pedal as fast as you can, about 20 times
continue until you see the oil-p gauge needle sweep across

then take it for a spin

try the pedal thing first
it resets the e-shaft position sensor
it may solve your entire issue
its worked for me in the past

OK so what i did i turn key to ON position... i pushed brake pedal very fast like 20 times....and i started up and still nothing..
What im gonna do is take battery to my home for a night...it should reset computer

@!!narotordo

Make sure the spark plug wires are connected right IE;
1st coil 2nd coil 3rd coil 4th coil
Leading Trailing Leading Trailing

Also make sure the spark plug wires are on tight! if they dont make that pop sound they can come lose and you will not get a good spark=shutter rpm brake up ect.

Have your local autoparts store like autozone or checker ect check the code for you and tell us what the code is. Then we can go from there or tell you right off the bat whats wrong.

Hope that helps.

You're not doing it fast enough then.

mlukaszm

So i should press brake pedal like super super fast ? , because after few moves its harder and harder to push it...

All you have to do is tap the pedal. i hope you are not trying to push it all the way in. Do it on ayour garage and look in the rearview. As long as you see the brake light lighting up you are hitting it hard enough. No need to press the pedal any harder.
