Car's Idle is rough, car shakes and rumbles, especialy with ac turned on. Car shut off on me for the first time about 2 days ago. Is stalling... also when I accelerate, my car is making a whistling noise coming from the front of the car, under da car... My RX8 is 04, 54k miles on it, Iam second owner, bought it with 47k. Recently changed my spark plugs about 2 months ago. Oil changes done every 2k miles. I need some help.

Well honestly, I'm no expert but it definitely sounds like your motor mounts are shot to hell and back (rumbling/shaking) and you probably need some new plugs/coils if you're having problems accelerating. Not sure what the whistling is.. you would probably get a lot of feedback if you posted in the general forum

I would take it to the dealership though.. or if you don't trust the dealership, take it to a local shop or Pettit on 45th
