Lots of threads on this problem with the A/T... seems like Mazda got a big headache on its hands.

could be all sorts fo things including a clogged fuel filter from low fuel or a bad fuel pump causing low pressure. you should get i to a dealer and have them find the fault. if there is a cel light get eh code. we can help furthur after we have a little more info.

Good luck with your problem. My RX8 has been out of action for over 50 days and on its third engine. The technician said the problem the first time was the oil metering pump. He said for some reason the auto RX8's have a problem with them.

Do a search and you will find alot of information on the subject.
