Car stalls
Hi,
I have a Mazda RX8 2004 auto. 124,000km.
I was at the lights and the engine starts to make that choking noise... at the next lights, happened what I feared would happen: the car stalled.
Any idea why that happened and how to fix that?
Note: the car was driving warm (oil at temperature) and in auto gear.
Note 2: I had that problem before. Mazda said it was low compression and reccommended to change the engine! I found a rotary specialist who just cleaned it (i.e. removed carbon) and it worked fine... until now. I'd rather have to avoid the de-carbonating thing again since it cost be $1500!!
thanks
