low coolant or faulty low coolant indicator.

need more info...year/mileage....how did you time it? MT or AT? if MT, feather the clutch, or dump it....at which RPM...? if AT...did you just stomp it or power brake it? any power loss you've noticed? etc...
could be a lot of things man or a combination of things. be more specific so we can help |
04 at rx8 with 54k miles
i timed it with a stopwatch and i floored it to see i bought car at 43k when iclocked it it would be at about 7 now it is 10 |
First, 04 AT is your freaking problem, you dont even need to talk about speed anymore.
Second, rattle as in ? what ? Third, your coolant light comes on and you dont know what it means? add some coolant hello? its not rocket science. |
try power braking it (don't know if this is the actual term..its what I call it anyway). Step on the brake with your left foot and then step on the gas with your right while keeping your left on the brake. Keep the RPM's right at the point before it starts pushing thru the brake (even if it does that on the AT, I don't know). Then let off the brake and floor it at the same time. This way you are allowing the torque to build up before you stomp on it. Bet you will lower your times.
|
also you may need to have your coils/plugs changed as well given that mileage if you already haven't. GL

OR you can just unplug the sensor as long as your willing to keep a good eye on coolant levels/temps.... search for a thread on it it has pics of unplugging the sensor |

Please take the car to the dealer, It seems to me that you have no mechanical ability and would only make matters worse if you were to touch something under the hood.
