Hey guys.... I got a Mazda rx8 which has done 103580kms the car used to run really smooth before but now it's creating problems.... It won't start when the engine is hot, starts perfectly on cold but it refuses to start when the engine is hot..... I have tried alot of things such as changing spark plugs, starter and battery upgrade, gutting the catalytic converter and even deflooding yet the same issue occurs, starts easy when cold and late start or no start when hot..... Any idea what's wrong.... Is it low on compression or the engine needs rebuild?? Please help me out

Zaved,

I see you recently joined the forum. Welcome. There are some newbie threads full of helpful info. You should read them.

You've described classic symptoms, unfortunately, of low compression. It c/b something else..., but you'd do well to get a compression test.

All the best.
