Same Here it always turns over but always seems to take a while ... Almost sounds like the battery is dead... I took my 04 Rx8 to the dealership and They said it was a miss-fire at 1500 rpms and i should replace my coils and have it decarbed. Which in return they could not guarantee that it would fix the problem... Total estimated for new coils and decarb was 789.00 MA taxes included (with labor)... But i also read that having a low tank of gas could cause it to miss-fire or maybe i read wrong... Either way I went to the dealership today with 1/4 a tank of gas hahahah

Why is Boston called Beantown?

Back in colonial days, a favorite Boston food was beans baked in molasses for several hours. Back then, Boston was sort of awash in molasses - it was part of the "triangular trade" in which slaves in the Caribbean grew sugar cane to be shipped to Boston to be made into rum to be sent to West Africa to buy more slaves to send to the West Indies. Even after the end of this practice, Boston continued as big rum producing city - the Great Molasses Flood of 1919 (which killed 21), ocurred when a tank holding molasses for rum production exploded.

Today, Boston baked beans are something of a rarity - there are no companies in the city making it and only a few restaurants serve it.

You got lucky. I was about to report your post for racism.

You do understand that the white spot under the old coil might not actually mean anything, right?

BC.
