It is doing that to heat theengine lots of cars do this when they are cold like BMW's

@kills456

I know that BMW's do this but they also dont normally go past 1,500 rpms, and they also dont normally throw a cel light. Oh yeah and the throttle works when a beemer is warming up. Really this is nothing like a BMW at all come to think of it.

wat ended up being the problem?

@DIENAMICProductions

The problem was a cold throttle position sensor. Cleared the code and it worked perfect ever since

Ruedist... Its healthy to redline these motors and its not because of a cold start probly tps but cant say for sure

@kills456 PS: I forgot to mention that I don't think this is a forced behaviour of this engine. To turn up the engine's RPM in neutral is only a waste of gas, engine durability and bad for our nature.

Greets, Ruedist :-)

@kills456 Hi, well, I don't know what Mazda programmed into RX-8's motor management. But there is a principle how to handle cold engines: You should never turn up an engine over 3,000 rpm when it's not on it's operating temperature, yet. Especially not when it's cold outside. That means: Stay in low RPM as long as possible. Generally shift up at 2,000-2,200 RPM and stay calm in accelerating.

When I have a problem with my car I find it always helps to turn my stereo way way up.

Hey I'm having almost the same problem other than the fact that when I step on the gaz it rev n there is no engine light on I changed my throttle body n the problem still persist how did u fix that ?
