New owner of a mazda rx8 engine light repeatedly on.
Have a 2004 rx8 with 51,200 miles. Purchased 5/29 from PA Auto Select in Downingtown. Drove home then on Friday night light came on. Came back to Downingtown today had tech look at said had a code p2259 related to air pump. He cleared code and was told if came back to come back. Drove home as I approach light back on??! Car was driving good but this continues to be an issue. Car is auto with grand touring. Will I continue to further damage things by driving? I can't get back to shop till next week. Appreciate any info. Thanks.

I realize you're new here, so I'll give you a hand, but in the future, search search search search, try not to duplicate posts in multiple threads to get an answer fast.
All that said.....
There's so much info on this forum, just about every topic has been covered.

That said, to answer your questions:
If the car is driving fine, you're probably fine. If it's throwing any other codes, you should have it checked. If you can't get back to the dealer, take it to autozone and have them pull the code for you. They'll do it for free. You can check for any other codes that way as well.
This isn't the air pump. It's the AIR solenoid, which is apparently used to control emissions.
