Update. The eccentric shaft plug still wont come off!!! Even with the use of the pliers!! I have remove the airbox to have more room, but helped a little. To prevent me from damaging the eccentric plug, I'm gonna have to say: I give up. Taking it to a machanic that I know of and they know eveything about RX-8s. Thanks for all ya help.

The ESPS plug is exactly of the same type of plug as the 4 plugs of the ignition coils !!!!!!

Sometimes those connectors get encrusted with dirt, and you can no longer squeeze them easily. Maybe clean it with contact cleaner and then follow with dielectric or wd40.
After the first time it is much easier to take it off the next.

I zoom therefore I am.
when i was down at the socal dyno day Easy E1 put a whole can of seafoam into my engine and we let it sit for almost an hour. The high revs you're hearing are from another car doing a dyno pull.

I would suggest premixing when doing a decarb since you're going to be losing a lot of lubrication in the process. I have an AP so mazdamaniac simply has a high oil output map that we load up and then put the normal map back on when we're done.
