I'm having the same issue. Don't know what it is.. I hope it's the same clogged cat. I'll have to check it out with the dealer. Oh and is that 100k/8yr warranty real? I have an 07 with 33k miles. Weird because last time I went to the dealer they wanted me to extend some warranty. Is it an official release?

yeah just get it checked out man, and if its the cat what i did is drive it real REAL hard and then stop and look at my cat and it was super red, so i knew it was clogged

as for the warranty the 100k mile is real, but its only for the engines core so nothing else, so thats why they told u to extend it, u have warranty on ur car for 80k miles 2

I left on vacation for 3 days. Tried starting the car this morning and it was dead. All I hear is a clicking noise. I changed the battery last January. Hopefully it's not the starter. Is that covered in that engine warranty?

No it's not, the battery just needs a charge probably. Make sure your battery has enough reserve capacity.

Hi I own an 04 auto rx8 with 115xxx miles. Every thing is pretty much stock, I have changed the coils, plugs, and wires. Replaced the fuel pump and new starter and checked the compression and it hits 120-150 psi. My problem is the car idles pretty rough and stalls at idle and whenever i put it in gear. Also whenever it doesn't stall out, the car is really rough while in gear like the car rpms drop and the ecu i guess tries to keep it from stalling and has the needle jumping up and down and has my car shaking and jumping. When i press the gas down it doesn't accelerate normal i have to press and fiddle with the gas peddle constantly for it to actually raise the rpms up and semi drivable but as soon as I hit the brakes while driving like a stop sign or light, it does the same thing and i have to repeat fiddling with the gas in order to raise the rpms up to speed. The car is just sluggish and rough. I have a solid cel light and the codes were P0743, P0171, and P0506. I need help trying to figure out what the problem is. I have cleaned the MAF sensor and have new coils installed and checked my plugs and they were still pretty new. Only thing I haven't checked is my cat converter. It doesn't show any signs of it going bad like glowing red or anything so i'm going to check if its clogged but besides that I have no clue what else it can be. Please someone help.
