new engine may be!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My check engine light came on on Monday. Today(monday) I went to Milam Mazda, and after 2 hours, they tell me it may be 1. the new cat and new coils, which wood take one or two days or 2. new cat, new coils and new engine, which wood take a week or two. will found out later today, but from what the guy was telling me he found 105 miss fires in one port and 5 in the other register in the CPU, so he needs to drop the cat and do 6 vacuum test and check what the difference is between the two ports, and if there is a differes of 12% I am the lucky winner of a new engine. wish me luck!!!!

After two day of testing. I got angelica back today!!! now I have to wait for two weeks until Milan Mazda gets the new engine. but at least am not going be be with out her that long, and they toll me it wood be two or three day to charge engine and test. So I will see you all at the drive-in with angelica. now the weird thing is that today in the morning I had to take angelica to the interlock place for her calibration appointment, and the rpm wood not stay still at 750rpm on the stop lights. there were all over 750 to 1000rpm. for a moment I was worry and the mechanic toll me it was the primary port miss firring and that all the engine he has replace were misfiring all on the second port, not the primary and that this was the only car doing this, and that was after they change the two coil and wires. he also said that it miss fire 103 times on the primary port, in like one five minutes run. but now the rpm are steady at 750rpm. I do feel the engine weak, but I think its in my head, and they show me in there computer that it is the original engine, on like what Russ dunmires toll me wend I did my last recall with them. see you all soon and I hope the engine swap goes OK. who nose, may be I have been driving angelica with out her full power all this time!!!

Well i was going to save this engine for myself, but i think Doug at Fairlady Motors has a JDM s5 engine with 40k for sale. It's a whole front clip so u know your getting everything 
.
that's cool that you'd give up your find, but i think this is an rx8 under warranty!!!

Yea i was thinking about getting it, but i want to tear my engine apart first to see what the damage is. I need to make arrangements to take the car to someone house and work on it. I believe we were talking about takeing the car to Allens then ripping the engine out and taking it to ur place David. Not sure what the plans are now. I think Allen was going to get back to me about it since at the time he was getting a new house.
