mazda service says "starter miss fired and needs new coils and starter"
Mazda service has quoted me at 1,000$ to replace coils and starter. apparently, the engine has flooded as well. 2004 rx8 engine is under warranty 8yrs old or 100k mile. they are able to obviously fix flooding issue and spark plugs but.... Mazda has told me that i cannot get any aftermarket parts for the starter or coils because it will cause the same issue in 8-10 months. IS THIS TRUE?!?! i feel like im getting waxed....
any suggestions on what to do with this issue!?

I too am furious with the dealer right now. They are saying my car was flooded and replaced the plugs. No way they were fouled in 1 day. Wish I had a video on my phone of the car running just hours before leaving it with them. Calling Mazda customer service tomorrow.

Probably not. No offense if you belong there, but I wouldn't look to them for help unless you want to do some highway pulls or put neons under your civic.
Lance, here's our local thread. https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...82#post4124882
