I have read few articles here which is very similar to my problem, when the 8 is stop for the red light or in low rpm, the car is rough idling. like misfiring, i would say, i can tell there is something , that's worse than my FD, since FD has turbo, so the 8 should be more smooth than 7

thanks

Take your car to your dealer and get the upgraded re flashes to your ECU , this should sort out your rough idling problems .

cheers

Louis, do you have the K&N by any chance

 

did anyone upgraded his ECU from the dealer bcoz the idle problem?

 

No....but mine idled rough before getting the M flash, and it still idles rough after the M flash.

I would try new plugs. I am going to go that route next. The damn things are SO expensive though.......for spark plugs.

 

i had the same problem and think i still do, i have the CZ mod so i think it has calmed down a bit.......FYI i'm still on K flash

 

anybody in this forum live around riverside area?

i want to see if anyone who has a perfect, non rough idle rx8 and meet with me , and i can tell the differences and share with members
