I have a 2004 rx8, and when I first bought it the engine flooded, took it to the Mazda dealer, and they said my car needed a new engine, thats when I told them it was still under waranty and then it no longer needed a new engine just to be fixed ok so 3 years later at 98000 miles the check engine light came on, loss of power, engine rattle and die at stop lights engine light was calling for a cylinder misfire so recommended to change coils, wires and sparks, well I took it somewhere else since they wanted to charge $1200 I did the rattle stop but not completely the loss of power was still there and die twice more within a month at a stop light I went to have the coils check they were firing just fine. Took it back to Mazda at 101000 miles no more warranty and they said I need a new engine.:/ I'm kind of skeptical after the first time, So i had the crank sensor replaced, rotors and pads well it fixed some of the rattling and runs a little better but the engine still rattles not too bad, and the light is still on any clues. My mechanic thinks it might be a vacuum leak under the exhaust but he is not sure!!

Well, assuming your ignition is replaced and is in good working condition, next suspicious would be your cat...
