  • So TH-cam isn't a fan of people dropping the f-bomb in the first few seconds of your content, so I edited it out (Sorry peeps!)
    Long video and there is more stuff than what I mentioned, but this covers just a general overlook. Does not address if the motor is flooded.

    I wish every DIY TH-cam was in this style/format
    -clear, concise, straight to every point
    -no long pointless intro
    -no background music
    -not only explain clearly but show exactly where everything is!
    cheers m8!

    so i just bought a 2008 and she was running great, went to start her this morning and I'm getting nothing but clicking , no ignition, seems my battery is fully charged as all the lugs are coming on bright.... would this be a starter issue or an alternator issue?, or something else?

      Check your fuse box. Then check the starter. If your car ever clicks or you get nothing when you turn the key always check those two knowing the battery is charged or at least its a working one.
      Fuse Box Fuses/relays to check
      ST - Starter
      Ignition
      If all checks out but still nothing then that means something is wrong internally maybe a rat got in and went to town.

      Which exhaust I have on the car depends on which video you are asking about. I was using an authentic Mazdaspeed exhaust with a modified turboXS mid pipe up until about a year ago. Anything within the last year is a turbo XS catback with a turbo XS mid pipe

    Noticed you have the TB coolant bypass mod. Any benefits?

    • @rickyse3p
      @rickyse3p  ปีที่แล้ว

      No measural benefits. Air passes through the throttle body so quickly that it doesn't really have any measurable effect on air temperatures inside the engine. The point of having the heater go through the throttle body is to help prevent icing on the throttle body in very cold climates.

    • @rickyse3p
      @rickyse3p  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      No such thing as that on a rx8. Priming the oil system at all has zero effect on its ability to start

      I wouldn't really be able to advise you on what would be best in your situation, too many variables. It would be best for you to reach to one of the local or Euro RX8 communities to provide them with more information.

    • @rickyse3p
      @rickyse3p  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Doesnt run to anything, just a couple inches long. Helps keep any turbulent engine bay air from hitting the sensor directly and causing weird readings, or water from splashing up into it

    My rx8 is a 2004, I replaced all coils and plugs, new battery, still wont start. It’s getting fuel.It’s turning over, and but not catching enough to start. It sounds like it’s getting compression, and getting combustion. It’s just not starting. Any ideas?

    • @rickyse3p
      @rickyse3p  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      You either have a wire shorting out or something is drawing too much power. Look online for a shop manual that shows everything that is powered by that fuse and check those parts and their wiring one by one.

    • @rickyse3p
      @rickyse3p  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      1) Marvel Mystery Oil is garbage and a waste of money, one could even argue that its bad to use.
      2) Dont use a non-mazda crank position sensor. Not worth the headache of a cheap part failing especially when it can cause damage.
      3) dont use non-factory spark plugs. Use factory spec plugs only, same for wires and only use Mazda Revision C coils, not that b.s aftermarket garbage.
      4) use a oem fuel pump, not whatever "racing" pump you used but didnt name.
      5) make sure you dont have a battery or grounding issue.
      6) overheating is a major concern. Your issue could be thermostat, radiator fans, cracked radiator or cracked coolant tank. Most likely the fans and the thermostat. One overheat can kill your motor. Fix that asap. bubbles in your coolant tank could suggest a blown coolant seal too. Just heads up.
      7) the smoke at the start makes me think blown engine. And you cant exactly tell if the motor has compression 100% by the sound. Get a ROTARY compression test done.
      8) im willing to bet your motor is toast. Low compression mixed with a blown coolant seal.
