2004 rx8 6 speed

i got it at 78k it now has 86k

car completely stock beside the cat being gutted

it was compression tested a week ago and came up good


the car starts right up warm up normal
after fully warm i can drive it good shiftin at 5k


if i take it to higher rpm atleast once car loses completely loss power
then it wont idle and if i keep on driving it struggles alot from were it doesnt know ethier to take off or turn off

i get no check engine except for a blinkin cel once in blue

also at high rpm i get a clicking/banging sound i have no idea were its coming from


**crank angle sensor was clean
**new plugs wires n coils
**cat gutted
**maf cleaned


what else should i do? i did my research but every idiot just says motor is bad





****keep dum comment to ur self plz***

Can you post your compression numbers? Blinking cell means misfire...

i had a friend do it at his shop i dont remeber exact number but i know it was still good

FYI to perform a compression test on a rotary engine you need a specific compression tester. The one used for piston engines will not work. Were the ignition components changed under your ownership or this is what the previous owner told you?

I believe it was a pistoon compressor tester which is same compressor I had used for my fc before

I ask him n front rotor was 88 rear rotor was 60. And. All sidenof the rotor was banging evenly but very low

Which is bad idk why he told me it was good I may misheard him

The compression numbers I have seen include one for each face of the rotor. This means that you need to have 6 numbers (3 for each rotor). I feel that your friend does not know much. Maybe you need to consider taking it to a dealer or a rotary specific shop for a valid compression.

The numbers I put would be compression of each rotor

The numbers ur talkin bout would be use to tell which face of the rotor is damage

Over all each rotor should hold a certain compression which I believe should be higher then 90psi

I am afraid you will include me to your list of idiots telling you that you have compression issues. If your ignition is good, and you have no cat related issues the symptoms you have listed lead to a bad engine. Maybe someone else in here has a better idea/suggestions for your problems.
