Hi guys
I've just purchased a 2004 RX8 that won't start.
It's had a flat battery, which was disconnected for charging.
The owner said it was running fine, stopped then when he came back and tried starting it, it had turnover but no start.
Replaced TDC sensor, erased code, which still recurs,
The fob doesn't work, "new battery, and programed", nothing!
Checked all fuses in engine bay,
There is a lot for oil around the Engine?
What have I missed??

Rx8 key fob
 

Big problem here!! I don't have the actual key to my car but I have the key fob my key fob has been working and all of a sudden it won't work to start my car. It still unlocks and locks the car but not to start the car how do I fix this problem please help me

Premix
 

I need help. I tried going to auto zone asking what is the best for premixing my 2004 rx8 and he told me its a 4 stroke and that premixing would do more harm than good. Is that true or should I actually premix?

your engine is probably flooded man try looking at a video to unflood it its easier than trying to explain

This is now officially my favorite thread.

I don't understand why troubleshooting questions are being asked in a thread announcing a mobile app.

Clutch
 

I put a stage 3 clutch in my 2006 rx8 and it seems like it's not engaging. Slave cylinder seems be working and I bleed the system. Anyone have any other ideas?

This is a thread dedicated to a new mobile app for forum browsing.

Try talking your spark plugs out, leave em out over night an put em back in in morning. Worked for me when mine flooded

flywheel
 

hey everyone, i have a 08 rx8 , i want to take my flywheel to engineering so that they can make it lightweight for me.. does anyone have engineering specs for me..and i want to know if i need to change or adjust any counter weights , do i need to light weight the front weight and with how much ? i need engineering specs plz..

hey..i had the same problem once, try loosening the fuel lines in the front by the engine switch ign on and see if fuel is coming thru, check battery volts , check spark, if all is correct try to reset. then try again

I just discovered this thread and I have to say...

It is MAGICAL!

Why hasn't this app been updated in years? The iOS version is still made for the iPhone 5s screen! Everything looks so blown up on a 7/7+. Honestly, the mobile website is better lol.

Is it worth it to get the app? The reviews in the past store are pretty bad.

Why even bother? All mobile sites and apps suck imo. Just go to the bottom of the website page and click the "view full site" (desktop) button

Yeah I'm on iOS and this app is awful. It hasn't been updated in 4 years!

Cat converter failure
 

Dear RX8 owners

Our garage is asking us to change the cat and the 4 coils of our RX8 although we have never experienced any misfires in the 13 years we had our car and had an MOT carried-out 5 months ago which spotted no engine issue.

We brought our low mileage car for a technical maintenance check at this garage and as we were going to pick up the car we got a call last Friday from the garage saying that there was a problem with the engine as the car would no longer start. We suspect that the garage flooded the engine by switching on and off the engine on their parking space immediately and did only partial cleaning. They changed a faulty spark plug and said that it was all sorted. When I picked up the car on Tuesday it stopped abruptly on the road after driving less than a mile. The garage is now saying that the cat and 4 coils need changing. This diagnostic feels suspicious as it happened after their maintenance check and spark replacement and also because we never had misfires on the past.

What would you suggest for us to ask to our garage to test their honesty? Also could you possibly let us know whether coils can be extracted from the car to allow us to see us In what state they are? What price should we be quoted for that repair? Thank you in advance for your support.

Olly
