Weirdest shit just happened...
I was coming into work and was about to park my car so I'm in 2nd coming to a stop, clutch in and about to pop into reverse. My car radio/CD player started to scratch and dip in and out and then it cut out while I was reversing into the parking spot. The radio went back to the introductory screen that says "mazda RX-8" and my dash had the traction and ABS light go off. About a second or two later the warning lights went off and the radio started playing again.
No time during that did my car cut out or stall or anything, or even dip in RPM... Car ghosts? Or something else... Thanks in advance! |
lol car ghosts probably
|
Sounds like you may have a loose wire
|
hooray for electronic ghosts. next thing you know the robots are comming...
|
half blown fuses.
|
Ive never seen a half way blown fuse in my life lol...
|

|
Check your ground
|
Yup ground. 1st thing clean battery connections. Some crud is normal to accumulate after a while on terminals of all cars.

fuse is just lose in the panel, check it

Be afraid.... :SHOCKED:
Electrical gremlins! Move wire bundles around in the area of your pedals and look for the same response. Track it down wire by wire. |
This is clearly bc your in reverse...try pulling in forward and then check the 1/16 blown fuse
|
dont get the gremlins wet...
|
Sounds like it's time to change the blinker fluid.

clean ur MAF sensor. go to autozone and buy 1 bottle its about 6 or 7 buks. MAF sensor located on the top of the intake pipewit 2 philips if its blk its dirty. the instructions r on the bottle. Good luck
|
its called MAF sensor cleaner. The MAF is the litle ball looking inside the plastic housing. dont touch it tho lol when its all done jus let it idle for a bit and then turn it off and then turn it bak on after 5 min. o yea there is 2 different kind dont get the oily 1

It happened to me b4 and i ran a OBD2 and read the air flow. I had the same symptoms radio shuts off tcs lit up etc... wen i cleaned it the problem went away. BTW also a good idea to clean ur filter since ur running the typhoon kit. I bet ur MAF sensor is covered wit dust/debris
