Would this procedure work for the rx8? because i had to take my cat out and put a straight pipe on there and my car is running like crap because it is dumping way to much fuel in there and my check engine light is on

How do u know its dumping too much fuel ?

and its the front O2 sensor that gives o2 feedback to ecu. So that might be a problem ?

 

i really dont know... my car sounds like a lawn mower right now... it has no torque and it bogs so easily... i dont know what is going on i cant figure it out... i had a shop weld a straight pipe onto my exhaust because mazda stole my cat and i dont have the money for a new one... im not sure what is going on with me car right now

 

Let's have some more specs on your car. MT or AT. Miles? Could be the usual coils and plugs.

 

he just replaced his own engine.
if you are dumping fuel--check your injectors--make sure they are ok and hooked up right. check all your vacuum lines and the maf--do the check list
