Idling issue, can't idle while engine is cold
Hi Gang
Hopefully you guys can help me out, I just bought my 2003 RX8 and it can't handle idling while the engine is cold (ie in the morning) the revs just fall below 1000rpm and it stalls. It starts to work after about 30min of driving around, with lots of revving along the way to keep it alive.
However as you can imagine this is incredibly frustrating in traffic, trying to keep the rev's up while simultaneously braking makes me look like I wanna dice everyone in the congested traffic jam.
Have done the full electronic check (all good) and replaced all the spark plugs to no avail, best guess is a leak in the Air Intake somewhere but haven't found it yet.
Any ideas?????
Thanks for any help.
