HELP!! Weak Acceleration Under 4000 Rpm
hey there,
first of all im a mazda technician (have been for a loooong time) and after checking this particular RX-8 i could not find the cause of the problem. heres the problem i give it gas upon taking off, nothing heavy, the same amount of throttle i would give it when starting from a stop sign, and its dragging along, truly terrible, but after 4000 rpms, its fine. i checked compression, sparkplugs, wires, the catalytic (incase it was clogged up), fuel pump, pretty much everything, and nothing seems to make it better. please tell me if you have had a similar problem or know someone who has, what the cause of the problem was. Or if you have any idea what could be causing this. thank you |
The car idles fine so its not a vaccum leak?
Is it possible the parking brake is rubbing but the brake light is burn't out? How about stuck calipers? Drive it a half block and check the discs. It will be hotter than a pistol. |

Did you try the leading coils? They weren't on your list.

Switched plug wires?
