I deleted your thread in RX-8 Discussion as this is the appropriate subforum. There is also a rule against posting the same thread in multiple places.


It sounds like you have problems starting when hot. This is either a fuel pump failure or a compression failure. If it shuts off on it's own, then fuel pump is likely the problem. If you shut it off, then compression is likely the problem.

Take a look at my new owner's thread. It has a section on compression tests and what is needed, what doesn't work, etc...
