First timer

reesanator · 08-24-2010, 10:31 AM

So this is my first time owning, well pretty much a vehicle. I have a 2005 RX-8 Shinka edition, and I've already noticed the problem when its idle. I'm a total newb when it comes to cars but I'm willing to learn. Any help would be awesome.

Welcome to the club!

There are a lot of cool and very helpful people here.

To help them out, you could post the following information in the appropriate forum (RX8):
Mileage on engine
More specific Idle symptoms
Does it idle worse when hot?
Any other information that may help them, such as whether you have access to a compression tester, a friend and a garage.

I hope this helps you out!
