Putt Putt And Backfire
My 8 seems to idol very strange...Its a putt putt type a slight bounce of the rpm needle and i get a lot of backfires with high revvving. Some of my friends are mechs. and have no idea about rotorys so they don't know what the hell it is either. I really dread going to mazda for any servicing so if anyone else has this problem of has a fix that they could post awsome. ( I do warm my car up and use preme fuel)

Sounds normal to me. A certain amount of popping from the exhaust on overrun is OK, any serious backfire should be looked at.

yeah, it's a GREAT thing. heat up your exhaust and see if you're shooting flames, ladies find it quite impressive. :D

"Putt putt" and "backfire" are trademarks of a rotary.
This all adds to the charm and eccentric nature of the unique car you have. Enjoy it and as wakeech says: "heat up your exhaust and see if you're shooting flames, ladies find it quite impressive" True indeed! :) |
It's all normal.
every rx-8 does it. if you have an aftermarket catback, you'll here the "backfire" more distinctly. listen to this video http://tyrannical.org/rx8/rx8.wmv |
yup, lots of fun specially when you heat it up. hammer the throttle and shift at 7000 rpm exactly. With an aftermarket exhaust it should let off like a gun.
