Hi guys,I just bought an RX8 2006 AT-4 and now having troubles with it..
The problem is;
Engine stops suddenly at stop light at position D and making noise like (clutch,clutch,clutch----!!!!!) whenver engine hot..
Then i changed to N and start again and engine seem ok until change to D..
I changed engine oil (10W 30) and spark plugs (Denso)..
But the problem still going on..

I am from Myanmar(Burma) and it is hard to find a mechanic who understands rotatry engine here..

I hope you guys can give me some advices..

Thanks in advane..

 

You need to use the proper NGK spark plugs that are designed for the RX-8, they are the only kind that work. Whatever Denso plugs are in there are not correct. and are most likely the problem.

 

Ok..I ll try NGK plugs and update again..
Thanks!!

 

FYI, Denso does make plugs as well and they work fine...they just cost twice as much.

Heat related stalling... first step compression test.

Is it only making the noise and stalling while it's hot and in gear?

 

Yes..It happens when hot (after 30 mins drive) and in gear..

 

When the weather is hot, my car stalls when i have the a/c on, but when i turn off the a/c, it doesn't stall anymore. I just open the window for fresh air...

 

Here in my place,it is difficult to test the compression..No experienced garages..
any idea for compression test to DIY..

 

Same thing happens to me..
Only problem is that the weather is too hot to drive with window open..

 

I just modify a little bit with ignition coils..
I put some conductor sheet(about 2mm thick) underneath the ignition coils to prevent voltage leak to grounding..
Engine become better (means never die at stop light) but the rattling sound is still there whenever hot and in D..

 

I know, but at least i only drive it less than 5 miles a day...
