The RX-8 frys coils. Many owners replacing them. Check with one of our forum venders (forgot which one) who sells each coil for like $23.

when you pull the codes from places like autozone, thats what they're going to tell you, generic OBD code result.


240sxdm : all coils will fail, sad thing is that usually they die slowly, theres no way to test when its dying, the way that Mazda use to test them can only tell if they're completely dead.
