Hi everybody, I have a 04 RX8 MT. I just replace a new batteries today. Last week my car wont start because my batteries is low. I thought it would be my alternator but not . After replacing my new batteries, I drove the car for while seem to be ok. but when i stop, the car totaling turning it off. Start the engine agian seem to be ok, but wile driving and stop, the car turn off agian.. Can anybody figure what is wrong on my cars.

 

Same thing happened to me the other day when I bought mine... Just did some searching here and it helped ease my troubles...

- If your DSC light is flashing, turn your wheel fully to one side, then the other... The light should go off...
- Your Traction Control light will likely still be on... Turn the car off and then back on again and the Traction Control light should be out...

Now you will just have to deal with the engine dying at idle... I read stuff on here about tapping the break pedal quickly 20x in a row or something... And I also read to drive the car for around 10 minutes before turning it off and starting it up again...

I was in such a panic I just did everything all at once and hoped for the best... The car was dying about about 5 mins of driving, but when I got it back home in the driveway it was fine again...


Maybe someone here will be able to give you a MUCH better idea of what exactly to do... There likely isn't anything wrong with your car, it happens whenever the battery is disconnected on these cars...

 

Hi thank for replaying. My DSC Light wasn't on. I just turn off the Traction Control light but it still die on me when I stop again. Maybe I should disconnect the batteries and try to connect it agian and I hope this work. thanks for your help

 

problem fix thanks
