the 5 year 60k mile powertrain warranty covers everything you are talking about..

that was extended with recall 4206f

ask the dealer you are working with it if it was done..

btw, pm me if they dont fix it.

I believe that recall ONLY said (on the paperwork)

Changed Spark Plugs

I'll have to double check.... But it DID NOT say wires and coils.... was this recall around Oct of 2007??

So, what you're saying is.... This should be covered and they're pulling my leg..correct?

If so, I don't understand why they do that!! Why do people have to lie??!! You make a huge investment for them to risk ruining it for ya.... I'm driving around with a car risking more damage and me stranded... trying to make a decision and get to the bottom of this.... It's ridiculous!!

Thats why even if i still have 100% warranty i still buy and fix the parts myself !
i have a shop and get everything 50% off

i just accidentally broke my tpms sensor and i got it half price
you just need proof that you own a shop

and dealerships stiff arm you!!!
when i bought my rx8 it didnt have the spoiler i asked for so i was given a voucher and had an appointed day

when i went the guy goes ohhh your ac isnt working right im like stfu im a mechanic your telling me its not working !!


look just got put my wing on and i just left (whic took an entire f**** day !! ) i dropped it off as soon as the dealer opened

i absolutely hate them !!

well, mine is still reving up and down when started. But its not only when its cold now. It does it whenever its in neutral. Soon as I press the clutch - it idles normal. I let off the clutch, it revs up and down.

Plus i got a cel now too. When i tried to read it out - keeps saying it cant communicate with the vehicle. Yet, the scantool powers on, and the only source of power is the odbII plug so.....???

Fuc.... where is the neutral switch and how do i replace it?

UPDATE..!!!!!!

I finally, got my car fixed.... It seems the dealer I was going to didn't take care of me as suspected. Let's just say that I won't bee going there EVER!!! The place I took it to, actually took all 4 coils out, showed and explained how they looked and why they looked like that... He even told me it had over 400 misfires... I was never given that much detail beefore! All 4 were bad.... when they told me just 1 was gone! Now, it explains why my car was running so crappy! It's amazing the power I have again...

I will however, need a new battery soon... he mentioned I had a bad cell. So any suggestions on where I can get a Red or Yellow Top for a decent price??

Thank you!

The pepboys in my area had a deal where the red top dropped to $125 from $160 and then had a $25 rebate so its only $100 and autozone matched that. Not sure how much a yellow top would be.
