anyone know a rx8 mechanic in victorville ca please email me @jl167070@gmail.com thanks

 

i will work on your rx8s if your near eastern nc.after building 2 race cars and taking apart about 20 rx8s i now know them like the back of my head

 

Does anyone know of a good mechanic in the kansas city missouri area I'm tired of dealing with a mazda dealership that keeps flooding my rx8

 

London Motor Works on Wornall.
If they're flooding it, it's likely bad ignition components; coils, plugs, wires.

 

The only thing I haven't changed are wires but they replaced coils and spark plugs then flooded it but I've done all the checks on them they're fine but thanks I'll definitely try out London motor works!

 

You checked them with a tester or timing light?

 

Yup and also pulled them out with the insulated holder about an inch to make sure they all had a spark

 

Well, those are the usual suspects for flooding.
Weak battery, starter or bad grounding points probably next.
Did you get a compression check?

 

Yes it came back good I also got a new battery I don't know if I have the more powerful starter or not and where would all my grounds be the battery terminals are tight

 

There's the obvious one on the fender, and several others.
If it's at the dealer, you should get a compression test.
They may try to drain your bank account changing parts, and they're the only ones that I know of that test them.
If the engine has bad compression, then you're wasting money changing parts.
Tim London may have a rotary tester, he's knowledgeable about rotaries I've been told by someone he used to work for.

 

Well its not there but I got a compression test at 65,000 and now it's at 80,000 I've never flooded it myself but someone backed into my front end the body shop flooded it fixed it and now I'm getting a p0300 and it's stalling after about an hour of driving I've replaced the maf cleaned the eccentric shaft sensor did the 20 brake stomp new coils and plugs new k and n box filter gutted cat and no vacuum on passenger side of engine

 

300 is a random misfire code, could be a lot of things that affects both rotors.
Do you have looms on your old wires to keep them separated so they don't arc?

 

If it drives good for an hour, then that sounds like your fuel pump may be dying

Try to not let it get under 1/4 tank, that contributes to the pump getting hot.

 

I don't think so. Right now it's just at a regular repair shop and the guy said he thought it was a computer issue but I don't think that's right but either way he won't touch it. So when I have time to get it back I'll definitely check up on that and let you know thanks for helping me out so much man

 

Sure, though Idk how helpful I am.
A possible weak fuel pump probably doesn't cause flooding. 0_o
London's can probably get it figured out.
Good luck!

 

I'll try the wires first and see if that's it and if not I'll take it to londons

 

Also you can check to see if your injectors are leaking. Sorry if I missed it, but have you pulled the plugs prior to attempting a start? Are they wet or dry?

 

They are dry also when I gutted the cat it obviously smelled very rich all the time and now that gas smell is gone? But I'm only getting that p0300 no running lean code which is p0270 I believe

 

you gutted the cat? that can cause it to run rich. If you don't want to pay all that money for a factory cat, I'd recommend the Magnaflow. great quality and it flows very nicely.

 

Ya but it's been gutted for a year and no issues until I got my car back from the body shop so I just figured the cat had nothing to do with it

 

If it started at the body shop, chances are there's something messed up that they did.
What did they do to the body?

 

A guy backed into my front driver side bumper I can't think of anything behind the bumper that would cause my stalling issue
