Car turn off while on neutral
I have a Rx8 2004 manual transmission.
A couple of weeks ago I came out of work got on my car turned it on and started talking on the phone. I was low on gas ( about 1/4). Next thing you know the car turned off and never turn back on. had to get the car toll to my house. I bought three gallons of gas and put it on the car and the car turn on. So i figure the car was low and gas. yesterday was really hot around 85 degrees, I was in the highway there was traffic and the car turn of on me while it was on neutral. I had to push it to the side wait about 20 minutes and then it finally turn on. This time i wasn't low on gas ( about 1/2 of tank). My question is why is my car turning off while been ideal on neutral ?

Yes I had times were I would have to wait a few minutes before I was able to turn it back, even now i still hace hard tkme turning the car on while is hot. I took it to a mazda dealer and had a compression test and it came out perfect. This was back in January. I bought the car last year in July and is a used car. I was thinking I might need to get a complete ignition system on it, coils, wireds, plugs.
