Proud Parent of a brand new CEL

Just backed the RX-8 out of the garage and got a brand new CEL. Cigars all round.

Car running well - occasional hard starts and one flooding about 1500 miles ago. About 2800 miles on "Blue"

Made an appt for next week - wish me luck.

Congrats! I myself delivered a bouncing baby P2402 fault code when pulling out of the garage last weekend. The upside is the baby shower that the dealer threw for me- I got a new airbag wiring harness, a clean air filter, a new 'L' calibration reflash and a detailed RX8. Cheers!

Congrats all round - who wants a boy or girl when a P2402 is just there for the delivering.

Any differences with the reflash in your parental opinion ?

Too soon to be sure (driven only about 100 miles so far), but mileage seems better, power seems even more linear all the way through redline - something I didn't think was possible. I haven't been able to romp on her yet enough to judge power differences... but so far it feels great.

Just got my pictures back from the dealer of my CEL I gave birth to this week- I hope yours is as healthy and happy as mine!

Be sure to regularly clean the black gunk off the exhaust tip.

I've got you beat. Mine threw a CEL at 198 miles on the odo. Needless to say I was concerned. Dealer had to replace my catalyitic converter. Runs fine now.
