Im not sure where to go from here. I have a 04 and since having it ive had to De-flood it about 4 times between fam and friends flooding it i got the procedure down to an art. The problem is it runs for 10mins and then just kills. At first look it seems flooded with fouled out spark plugs and having to go through procedure, after engine is i guess you can say cooled it cranks runs around another 10miles and dies all over again. Ive changed plugs & wires and will be changing the coils again toMorrow. Any other ideas or suggestions or what it could be? This is extremely frustrating i will continue reading the fourms but there's none that exactly are havening theses exact prob eh?? All help is greatly appreciated..

Alright guys well i invested in me a diagnostic tool scan my pcm having this rx8 for 2years im tired of going up to auto zone, after running it i got codes: P2070, P0302, P0420, and p0704. After doing lots of research going in n out of threads i see Intake Manifold tuning valve stuck open bank 1 is what is malfunctioning so ima pull that and clean it following a thread i found. I also found from code P0302 that i have a Cylinder 2 Misfire Detected, i believe that is a result of me having a bad ignition #2 coil is what the tool is saying, to cure this i will buy the BHR ignition kit, yes overkill but ive been eying it on here for a while that that Charles guy is selling because i been needing to change my wires and coils anyways, it seems to make a big difference so i will invest in it, if anyone have any info or suggestions on it speak up im still learning so im ALL EARS! Based off what ive said if u got anything else to help out it'll b greatly appreciated seeing that i cant drive for 10 to 15 miles without it killin on me and fouling the plugs and having a etremly hard time cranking up! Wish me luck my 8 is too clean to b sittin in the garrage
