I have only recently fixed this problem on my 2004 RX8. My trailing sparks were not working causing misfire in 2nd cylinder. Common problem is the coil packs. Each plug has a seperate coil pack and unfortunately not cheap.
I changed all four plugs and all four coil packs which cost me around 30 per plug and 80 per coil pack. If you call around you will get these prices, however mazda charge over double so do not go there!
You can get away with only the trailing as a cheaper option but the strain may cause the leading to go aswell!! I only got my rx8 a week ago and already shelled out 800 on it!! Wish i kept my BMW now!
first thing you must do is check the coolant level in the expansion tank if its low to the level of the sensor it will cause this if so simply add some coolant if not see if you can flush out the coolant expantion tank there might be something causing the sensor to send false signal.
Check your Antifreeze Level. Is it low? If it is add antifreeze and then check for a leak. Look closely around the radiator. My RX8 was doing the same thing and the leak was at the radiator.
My RX8 had the same problem. First, change your battery cable ends. On the Positive cable there is a white wire that powers the power steering. It probably has a bad connection at the battery post. I cut the end off my rx8 and just put a regular battery cable end on it and my problem was solved.
sounds like it needs to be taken to a madza approved repairer for then to be plugged in for a dianostic annalisis, too many warning lights for one fuse.
see if you can find a local mechanic-not agent who works on mazdas (RX-7s,) take it there or call them and see what they can do. maybe the older style rotary can be retrofitted. maybe call some junkyards and see what they have. You might be able to replace the expensive rotary with a standard mazda 4 cyl(miata) as well. not as much fun, but mazda 4 cylinders are pretty good motors if taken care of.
