I have a 2005 Mazda RX8 with 29K miles, automatic. The problem is when the car reaches normal temperature it will run and then stall and then after it has cooled down a bit run again.

Has anybody experienced this and is it under warranty?

 

get a compression test from your dealer, it should be free

you most likely need a new engine and since you have an 05 with low miles, you will still have your 8year/100k mile warranty (assuming you live in the states)

also don't take any bullshit from your dealer

 

I hope so the car is back with the dealer it has been there 2x for the same problem

 

Initial diagnosis is that the intake manifold is melted, what do you guys think?

 

Does it looked melted to you?

Tell them you want a compression test done, you do have to pay for it. I think if it turns out you do need a new engine then you do not have to pay for it. Make sure they give you a piece of paper with the results of the test and post them here.

 

Okay thanks!
