Acceleration issues
Hey all, I need some help with this issue before it gets worst.
So... I have a 2004 8 manual 116k miles. when driving in 1st,2nd and 3rd gear all is normal but when I change to 4th, 5th or 6th gear @ 1000RPMs - 4000RPMs it accelerates fine but then it slows down A LOT and it goes back down to 3000RPM and it accelerates slowly back to 4000RPMs. This started to happen 3 days ago. And sometimes its does it once I hit the gas, its accelerates normal and when it hits 4000RPs and it slows down even with the gas all the way in.

read this thread to test your plugs/coils https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-tech-garage-22/suffering-misfire-start-here-222280/
Check your cat by pulling down the front and looking in with a flashlight. Or, wait until it's dark, take the car for a hard 10 min drive, then look under on the driver side and check for any glowing.
You may even have a bad fuel pump (amongst other things). Keep us updated and good luck!

Just curious.. Can any one give a brief explanation as to how the clutch could have causing the OP's issue? Im just curious. I dont understand how the fix and problem are related. I'd like to learn.
