Hi i just bought my rx8 and i love this car but t idle it vibrates and i hear a clicking at idle if i get out of the car after reading i have come up with that either i need new wires or plus i cant do both at the same time (I get paid bi weekly but i can chance them both in 1 months time) which one do you think is the main problem and also is their any specific way to replace the spark plugs on the rx8........


Thanks and ZOOM ZOOM

idle issues can be a lot of things:
Dirty MAF sensor
dirty eccentric shaft position sensor
broken motor mounts
etc etc

Start searching those issues. Check the DIY section

Im replacing both in a couple days i was mainly wondering about the clicking my idle stays around 800 850 but every once in awhile it will dip to 700 thats why i thought maybe the spark plugs

start with the cheap stuff first. Clean the maf/esp sensors. Then, confirm your motor mounts are good. You can pull your plugs and have a look, and test your coils/wires. But, those aren't necessarily the issue with your idle

MAF was dirty is now clean
ESP was dirty is now clean

My idle was alot better but i was still getting a slight vibration in the car so checked the plugs and wires the leading plug was loose i called the previous owner and he told me in the years he owned the car he flooded it once and not to long before he sold it to me but he said he didnt replace the plugs so out of good will he bought all new plugs and wires and she purrs again

Wow, very nice! The previous owner had no obligation to do that.

(p.s. Feel free to throw in some punctuation in your posts. )

Now, I don't own an iPhone, but I'm pretty sure the on-screen keyboard has a period key.
