So here's the dilemma

I originally had like 6~8 CEL codes according to the dealership when I got it

checked. P0717 P0456 P401 blah blah blah and don't get mad at me

because I do know how to site:RX8forum.com (search word)

I got them ALL cleared by replacing O2 sensor, ignition system(coils, plugs and

wires), new gas cap, new oil cap, new battery and cleaning MAF sensor etc.

I was happy for 3 days being CELess and then BAM comes the CEL ruining my day.

P0410!!!! only one code to go I guess lol

I know it's secondary air injection circuit fail and after doing some search I found

out that some people had problem with having no power at 4500 rpm? and also

some had 60v air pump fuse out. I realized that it's a no biggie since it's only for

Emissions at cold start but come on we all know CEL is a day ruiner!

My fuse was okay so is my next option replacing the airpump?

I mean I understand that it won't affect my driving and it hasn't(haven't noticed

any power loss at any rpm).

TX is pretty cool about giving out registration even with CEL on so probably

won't be a problem(I just got a new sticker this month).

So what should I do? Ignore it until I had to sell my 8? lol

and Also I'm trying to find a new cheap struts for my front side but what I don't

know is whether I need to get both rear and front all together if i'm not gonna

buy the OEM part and decide to go with after market struts. it keeps on making

this constant "grunk grunk grunk"(please excuse my lack of description) noise

while driving forward (so I ruled out wheel bearings and cv joint because i've

listened to wheel bearing noise and it doesn't sound like that and when I turn

it doesn't make those cv joint noises so I ruled it out I hear cv joint problem

becomes obvious while turning but my 8 doesn't make any sound while turning)


I did notice the "bushing"? of my struts right now ripped on the front side

though so I'm guessing that could be the cause of grunk'ing noise?

what do you guys think? I'd appreciate any kind of input!


Thanks!
