What did you do with your RX8 today?
Was driving the car and got a blinking cel when accelerating in 2nd gear, it sort of had a little hard time getting up to redline, then it all went away. Later on it did it again and it was a p0301 code. My idle changed too, instead of the smooth idle sound that I would get before, I get more of a louder brap brap idle and extra vibration with more pops in my exhaust. I had just changed the plugs yesterday...and I checked them again today but they were fine.
misfires... if you've got new plugs your problem is either a faulty connection between the plug and wire, wire and coil, wire itself, or one or more of your coils are going bad. the code should give you an idea of which coil / wire to start your investigation with.
should've paid homage to the master...

P0301 - Front rotor misfire detected
Thanks, I already knew what the code meant though. Tried changing the coils and still getting the same idle. No more misfire codes and no more issues while driving today so far.
