sometimes aircond on will drop a little but nevermind that, but whats more important is there is something in the engine that is loose. either the engine is loose or some thing..

hi ppl, my car facing a problem, like something loose inside the engine, happens when idling when the rpm is about 600 something inside the engine bay and will cause the pedals to vibrate yr foot. also happens when moving from slow speeds as i toggle the clutch and gas pedal (where the RPM tends to dropa little) some **** is vibrating unnarutally.. at 1st impression it could be the engine mounting but then again it could be something else..

I have a CEL after i removed the battery terminals and replaced with another battery. I'm thinking it could be low voltage. Then I removed and replaced back with the previous battery, and the CEL still wont' go away. Hmmm.
Lennon - Where can I go to check diagnostics?

i did not see the video. so i don't know what gti it is . a N/A rx8 will definately lose on straight road to a vw golf gti. my healthy o engine is making 193hp on wheels while the gti is already making 24x on wheels.
that makes the diff.

Lennon - Couldn't tahan the CEL. So i pop by C&C Mazda Service Centre. Apparently, it was my engine oil sensor wire putus. So they soldered it back and the CEL also hilang. I asked about the PT no. but the mech had gone home. I'll call tomorrow to check the PT number so that I can cross-reference with my Workshop manual at home. Really want to buy the scangauge liao.
Voyager - How you tahan the CEL light for months? The PCM won't allow speeds above 50-60km/h and the acceleration also damn slow.
Boy - Thanks for the concern. Any luck with your engine rebuild?
