Help from the people who know the RX8 PLS!
 

Hi peeps been a big follower of the web site for a while especially when I have problems!


Not sure how big of a problem I have, recently as we all know the 8's sensor issue, coolant light came on and off for a while. Was thinking known sensor fault. so I unplugged the sensor from the port.


But right now the when the 8 is warm and I restart it, it cuts off the first one or two times when warm starting but starts there after. (its not compression!) and thinking (not the starter) watched utube vids.


When cutting off noticed the coolant light kind of flash's, wondering whether unplugging it is causing the ecu to be gettery therefore not finding idle?


Would love some input as to whether the car would respond in this way.

So when warm it starts but then shuts off immediately a couple of times before starting normally? Or it cranks a while before starting when the engine is warm? You are really hard to understand.

And how do you know it is not compression or the starter?
