Hi there,
I have recently bought a mazda rx-8 that was sitting up in a yard for about 3months and now I am experiencing problems that I hope you could help me out with.
The battery was dead when I bought it, so I put a new one it.
1) When I start the car, it takes about 5-10sec of it ticking over before eventually starting.
2) In the morning's when its cold, and after it starts, the rev's stay up about 2k for a few mins.
3) When driving, and taking off, the car will jump until past 2000-2500revs if you try put the foot down. If you easy it past 2000-2500revs the car is fine.
I have spoke to my mechanic and he suggest changing the plugs. I just wanted to get a second opinion before I spent the money on these. I have read up on the internet It could be the ignition coils. Can anybody please advise? Thanks.
