I'm not have a rx8, but i will glady watch your videos. Because i planning buy a mazda rx8 r3 in next 2 year. Because already i have megane IV 1.2 tce, i want second car for some iconic performance car using in the weekend. Mazda rx8 r3 is the best good solition for that :) But in Turkey dexelia oil and fl22 breaking fulids finding is real problem, if i will find amazon or ebay. I'll buy large amount. Anyway thank you for videos...

What if it has hard starts when cold? It can be started with de flooding, but can easily flood

I'm so glad I watched this I was scared because sometimes I get mildly slow startups, nothing like in the video but I am revamping the ignition with BHR coils, new plugs, and new wires so this should go away. My engine has 118k mi on it but was very taken care of the orignial owner was a mazda mechanic and I bought it from his brother so basically the same.

I don't have any of these symptoms. Car cranks but doesn't start and back fired once out the intake. Took it to mazda and said it's the catalytic converter that's all clogged up. Before the engine ran perfectly fine and produced great power.

thanks a lot! nice information love it now i can take care and be prepared... hahaha

Hey man. Love your videos. I just bought a 2004 Mazda rx8 last night. I love the car so far. It has full Mazda speed racing exhaust and a cat less mid pipe. It does have a engine light on for the 02 sensor. And it sometimes has a bouncy idle not all the time but sometimes. No smoke or anything. Really just looking to see what all I should really for. I'm new to rotarys but I've done tons of research. The guy did a rebuild 10k miles ago but then again it could have problems

@Drivenbymadness

Hey! Nice :) I think the bouncy idle is more a ignition problem than a low compression. Try replacing your coils, wires and spark plugs. and this will also help not burning out O2 sensors , so you can replace it, and it will work fine :)

I got a 2004 mazdar rx8 that hasn't been used since 2011

Just bought my 3rd one has funny issue was driving fine but I pulled over from purchase and yep glowing cat..i gutted it and put it back on and a day later car is throwing 6 codes for all kinds of things like missfires and car takes 40 seconds to start cold or hot and runs like cheap won't even rev up to 5000 rpm

2:54 I'm not sure if this is the same issue as what I faced however, when I got my rx8 at 40k miles it would make an awful rattling sound at rpms above 6k. It wasn't so much a knocking sound but a terrible rattling sound. I immediately thought the engine was screwed however it started fine hot and had no other issues. I read on an rx8 forum that many people experienced this and it was due to the rx8s not injecting enough oil to lubricate the housing. Rx8s as new as 7k miles were experiencing this. I first gave premixing a shot and within the first top up the car felt entirely different. That sound had gone away immediately and it felt easier to redline. I thought that this was only a temporary fix but 20,000 miles had passed and the car was still running smooth. At 60k I decided to fit a sohn adaptor kit, so that the car wasn't using dirty engine oil. I also kept premixing. Now I'm at around 80k miles and its still got a high compression, high 6s and 7s. Has anyone else experienced a weird rattling sound at high rpm? Its always been a rather strange thing that I never fully looked into.

@@josenieves7654 Honestly I can't say for sure. Its best to check with a rotary specialist but what I will say is that with RX8's there are only really two things that can go wrong with them: 1) loss of compression over time or due to lack of lubrication - add premix with each fill up and you can extend your engine's life. 2)Coolant sealing wearing out causing car to overheat - this only ever happens if you rev you engine or drive hard before it properly warms up. Let your car warm up properly (10 to 15 mins of driving under 4k rpm) before building up revs. Once its warmed up properly you can redline it from time to time. Also never turn your car off if it hasn't ran for at least 5 mins; it needs to warm up before turning off - it not a car that can be started, moved to a different parking space and turned off. Its worth getting a compression test from specialists such as Essex Rotary, Rotary Motion or Rotary Revs. Just for peace of mind. Your car may be perfectly fine but worth getting an opinion from an expert. -In terms of sputtering, I suspect possibly spark plugs need replacing. I change my spark plugs every 6k miles, ignition coils and ht leads every 10k. I've attached some links to forums with similar issues. www.rx8club.com/series-i-trouble-shooting-95/sputtering-low-rpms-93146/ www.fixya.com/cars/t17230459-rx8_engine_sputter

A true CAI either aem or mazdaspeed both are the same, is more a quality of life mod as cooler intake temps are an overall great benefit especially when you get rid of the oem intake tray to really let the engine get more air cooling. Basically all rx8 mods are quality of life mods or reliability mods. However going catless is paramount if you want your renisis to last. Oh also be advised if you do get a cold air intake it will require you to delete the vfad system which is basically just a little door that opens in the intake just before it actually hits the filter and basically its function it to get enough air required for 100% throttle opening. Basically what im sayin is you never truly get full throttle until this happens in the 5-6k rpm area then thats where all the power is made im am curious to see if there is a way to tell the ecu atleast in the s2 that vfad no longer needs to utilized and its good to give 100% throttle.

Hey, I’ve seen all your videos about maintenance for the rx8 but nothing really about that goes in depth tutorial about a rx8 that doesn’t have power steering. So I did some research and did all the possibilities that could cause my car to not have (ps) cleaned the thoroughly checked the connections. Nothing seems broken or dirty.

Bit of an old video but I could use some input from someone. My FC takes like 2 seconds to start up from cold, my cold start system doesn't work. And for the first like 10-20 minutes of driving the idles surge between 1000 and 1500 rpm. And very rarely on hot starts the engine will stall unless I give it some gas. Other than that it runs good and holds idle at 700ish. From what I've heard this is either a TPS issue or an apex seal issue. Any thoughts? New to rotaries.

@@sofakingdom3076 I see. I'm thinking about picking a rx8 as my first car that *I* buy. I learned how to wrench on my starter car so I think I can care for a rotary. Of course, i'll be doing more research on it. The only thing that confuses me is premixing. Dump the whole bottle in or pour a little bit in?

@@suzumr2754 I'd do more research. It varies on how you'll drive it on that tank of fuel. I personally add 8 fl ounces vs my usual 4 if I'll be driving more aggressively. Reving to the moon in all gears. I use 4th gear my entire drive on the highway (70-120mph) 5th and 6th are considered over drive gears due to gear ratio. I say go for it whenever you feel ready.
