Rx-8 Problems, Idle And Driving Problems
Hey Everyone, Just Recently After The Weather In Northeast Pa Started To Get Cooler And Colder, My 8 Is Acting Up Alittle. It Is Having Problems Hold Idle, It Usually Idles Around 1,100 Rpms. Now It Idles Around 1,100 And 700 Rpms, And Sometimes It Even Stalls Out. Also While Driving, Giving The Car About Half Throttle And Letting The RPMS Climb At About 4,000rms to 7,000 rpms The Car Starts To Break Up. Sounds Likes Its Gargaling, Or Something. Any Suggestions Or Advice. Its An 06 With About 11,000 Miles On It, I Have The Aem Cold Air Intake, Rpm Half In. Throttle Body Spacer, Unorthadox Pulleys, Nology Hot Wires With Grounding Straps, 4 Gauge Grounding Kit, And Ngk Iriudium Plugs, Eibach Lowering Springs, 18" Eneki Rz4 Wheels, And Carbon Fiber Lip Spoiler, and 8K Hid Upgrade. Does Anyone Know What Might Be The Problem.

Your Cat is DONE!!!!!!!!
My gut is just screaming out that its done for. Especialy the sound you decribing. Lift it up and take it down to make sure then bring it in to the dealer and have them replace it. The SoB is covered for over 100k, so they shouldnt hassle you at all.

Well Its Winter Time In Nepa, So Last Nite The Temp Was Alittle Warmer And The Roads Were Clear. So I Decided To Take A Look At My Car And Take It For A Ride. Here The Problem All Along Was When We Put My Throttle Body Spacer In, It Was A Tight Fit. From Vibration The Two Tubes That Get Connected By The Rubber Boot Came Apart. So The Air Wasn't Going Through The Screens On The Intake, The Air Was Going Directly To The MAFS. Thats Where The Idle Problems And Breaking Came From. Tightened Everything Up Last Nite And Took It For A Ride, And Everything Is Perfect.
