RX8 runs on one rotor
I bought an 04 RX8 back in may, owner had replaced the stock renny with a used 30k one, back in November i replaced the tranny, made sure to buy a new clutch and flywheel, as well as bought a braided line for the clutch line, everything worked fine, in December i started experiencing hard cold starts, it would take a good 8-10 seconds to fire up, though when warmed up and hot it would fire up right away, anyways, a few days ago a couple buddies and I were going out to eat when all of a sudden it lost a lot of power, it soon turned off on me a few seconds later, after trying to start it back up, it didn't want to, it cranked but something was off, I got it towed home and a few hours later I got it to turn on and only 1 rotor was working, I had replaced the spark plug wires 1K ago, i bought new coils and spark plugs, put them in, and it seemed like it helped but still only 1 rotor would work, I checked for spark by using a tool that you connect to the wire end to the plug and lights up every time theres a spark, all 4 wires were getting spark, i deflooded it with all the plugs out and made sure to disconnect the fuel pump and coils, and turned it over in 5-8 second intervals making sure to wait 10 seconds after each, and making sure to wait a few minutes after a minute of deflooding. after that I got new plugs for the front rotor (I assumed I fouled them) and then cranked to confirm both rotors were turning. after, I put everything back together, and still the front rotor wont turn on, only the back one does, once again I took out the plugs and the front rotor plugs did get fuel, obviously they both did since the rear one turned on, I don't know what could be wrong. I was driving and out of no where it seemed like I lost a rotor.
