Mazda RX8 Rough Idle/No Power?
Hey, I bought a $400 2004 RX8, Clean title, Clean body. Score. The car is basically in limp mode. It doesn't idle by itself, and it has no power when trying to drive it. When I put it in reverse, it stalls, and same with any gear.
Before anyone responds, yes I know it was $400, you get what you pay for, etc etc. Heres what I've done. Cleaned the air filter, cleaned the MAF, and cleaned the Throttle Body (With all proper components, MAF spray, throttle body spray, etc.) New oil, new coolant.
I know I should've done a compression test but that'll be done by a rotary specialist.
I plugged in my OBD2 scanner, and the only codes that showed up were P0031 and P0037 which were bank 1 sensors 1 and 2. Connected the O2 and there were no codes showing.
Coil's, spark plugs, and spark plug wires are coming in the mail in the next few days.
The car has what I think is NGK Spark Plug wires and some sort of aftermarket coils.
As far as I can tell, I think the apex seals are good? I honestly have no idea, I'm no rotary specialist.
The car definitely backfires a lot. I'm not sure if thats because of the aftermarket exhaust (High Flow CAT and titanium tip catback exhaust) or if theres actually something wrong. Maybe misfires?
When driving it, "Full throttle" feels like a normal idle in drive. It barely moves, and after like 10mph, it picks up and somewhat acts like a normal car. Could it be the TPS?
If someone has some light on RX8's or rotaries please let me know.

3 AnswersInsurance & Registration5 years agoWhite smoke out of lawn mower?
I have a Toro lawn mower with a 7.25hp briggs and strat. Its fairly new and as i was cutting the lawn after the rain (yes i know that this was bad), i was cleaning the underside, and to do so, i tilted it so that the spark plug was up and the bagging part was up (also know that this is bad) I noticed that i smelled gas and i opened the air filter and it was wet. now i believe that this is gas, but it could be oil i suppose. I removed the filter temporarily to see if it ran. it did but it puffed white smoke for a little bit and it stopped. to make sure that it worked i started it again, and it was fine for like 10 seconds and it was puffing smoke again, but not as badly as you would think. what should i do? i also am pretty positive that the lawn mower doesn't have a blown head gasket, but ill let you guys decide. thanks

1 AnswerAdd-ons6 years agoHELP! eBay issues!!?
Ok, so I sold a ps3 a while back. The customer said that i didn't send GTA 5 disk with it and I 100% did but I was going to reimburse him anyways. I tried sending money to his paypal so he can buy a copy himself and I can't send money through his PayPal. It says you cannot send money to this user. I told him that and he said to buy him a copy. Since paypal is my only way of online purchases, amazon won't allow me to connect my paypal to my amazon account. Today he messaged me and asked for my phone number, and says he's in NY, where I am. He's from the central part of the US. In my position, what can I do? Can the cops do anything if anything goes wrong?

Thanks all for tips!
3 AnswersPC7 years agoWindows 7- Computer is SO SLOW?
So recently, my wifi on my Samsung RV510 has stopped working. At the time I didn't deed my computer all that much, so I let it slide. Now that I turn my computer on, it takes a really long time to boot and it is very slow in general. Once it boots, it generally goes into the blue screen of death.
The other problems consist of no file names under the icons. It also still has no internet even if it has an ethernet connection.
I was told my a GeekSquad member to reset/update the drivers in the wifi module, but in order for me to do that, I will need to have access to my desktop, which I don't have.
Another problem is the fact that I STILL don't see names under files still in safe mode. I have no clue.
A while back when my computer was somewhat responsive, I ran a diagnostic and it told me that my network cable was unplugged or damaged. But when I opened up the compartment with the network cable, it was not unplugged.
HELP!
1 AnswerSoftware7 years agoWhat body system triggers allergic reactions?
So this is a part 2 for my take home test for Biology Honors. This is the scenario.
A student was visiting a friend at her home. Her friend owned two cats. After playing with the cats for a while, the student began to sneeze. Her nose began to run and her eyes became red, watery, and itchy. It also became hard for her to breathe. A few minutes after leaving her friend's home the symptoms disappeared.
Provide a biological explanation for the symptoms the girl developed at her friend's house. In your response, be sure to:
1. Identify the body system that was responsible for triggering the reaction she experienced.
2. State one reason why her symptoms are not likely due to an infections agent.
3. Identify the type of reaction the student was most likely experiencing.
Thanks all!
1 AnswerAllergies7 years agoWhy do my parents do these things?
Hey! This isn't any teen rant from a pissed of teen. Yes, I am a teen but its the matter of understanding. I don't really understand why my parents do this. So yesterday, it was around 12:30 in the morning and I was playing Call of Duty. My dad was like 'Go to bed" and I did in a timely manner. Today, he calls me and says the situation from last night and then says to bring down my phone and my computer at 9PM. As a sophomore in High school, I understand this is a "College" time and study time, but I never do things that please me. I rarely go out with friends or even go out as a matter of fact. I have high 90's as averages and tests so I don't feel as though academics is why they're doing this. I just don't understand.
Solutions that will not work:
Talk to my parents: They are ignorant and thick-headed. They will refuse to negotiate and they most likely would severe the punishment more than its original duration.
Other Information:
I'm a male 16 year old. They know that what I want to do is become an MLG Call of Duty player/ Gaming industry entertainment. I have the grades to do what I want if my intentions fail, but whats the deal with gaming?
Thanks for all answers, but if you give me bullsh*t that does NOT benefit me in any way, shape, or form, don't waste my time or yours.
3 AnswersFamily7 years agoCredit Card Square - Activation?
Hi.
I recently signed up for Square, the portable credit card reader/transactor and 2.75%, and I can't get by the activation. It asks me what I will use it for and my SSN, and I am uncomfortable just giving out my SSN like that. I'm 16, so I will be using it for personal use. (I fix Xbox's and PlayStations) And I constantly get older people and they always ask if I accept credit. I want to so it will be more convenient for my customers. And as far as I can tell, I don't have to link this to my bank account? And I can connect it to PayPal?
This is very unfamiliar to me, as I am fairly new in finance. Please help and reviews on Square would be fantastic.
Thanks in advance!
1 AnswerCredit8 years agoWhat phone should I get?
My contract is now up and I am now left hanging on what phone I should get. Now I fully understand that a phone is by one's preference and what they look in a phone. I don't know what I should do.
I currently have a iPhone 4. It does wonders for me, but its a little slow for my liking. I was thinking of getting the newer iPhone 5, 5S, or 5C. But the only thing unappealing about those phones are the price tag. The iPhone 5C is supposed to be $100 for AT&T (16GB) but the plastic material makes me want to stay away from it. Meanwhile the 5S has a much larger price tag. I don't want to break my wallet to buy a phone I won't like.
I've never tried to use an Android. I've been using iOS 7 for a long time (Beta), that its just not appealing to me. How is Android like? Now don't give me some Biased answer. I want all the pros, if not cons about Android.
By the looks of things, Im most likely going to get some sort of Android. I was thinking about the Galaxy S3. The S4 just has a lot of features, meanwhile I won't use half of them. I'm just stuck, and an answer from one who used both architectures would be appreciated. Thank you for your answers in advance!
3 AnswersCell Phones & Plans8 years agoSnowblower Runs sometimes?
I have a Toro CCR 2000. It has a Suzuki engine in it and it is over 20 years old. What happened was someone threw it out and I ran it with Unleaded fuel with no oil mixture about 2 winters ago. I didnt use it i just ran it to see if it worked or not. I left the gas tank with no gas in it when i last used it and it wouldnt run 1 winter ago. I decided I was going to fix it up today so i replaced the spark plug and emptied the remnants of the gas in the fuel tank ( A few drops) and filled it up with 50:1 ratio as recommended. It wouldnt run. So i drained it again in hopes that regular unleaded gas would make it run and it did. Is there something im missing? Is there a secret oil compartment i never found? What would be the cause of this and what are the cons of just running gas besides engine damage and no lubrication? Thanks
1 AnswerMaintenance & Repairs8 years agoHow much will this help? RAM Queston?
Hi! I have a question and I am a geek so please speak geek with me. It makes my life easier and most likely yours too. I currently have a Macbook A1181. This website should lead you to the exact one I have.
http://everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook/specs/ma...
Since it is a laptop, Its almost impossible to upgrade. (Because CPU and GPU is soldered onto the motherboard) The only thing I can think of upgrading in this machine is RAM and the Hard drive to an SSD or a 7200RPM if I have a really tight budget. (In which I have 200 to spend)
What Im thinking of is since I already have a 120GB hard drive, I don't mind the small space, Ill just get a 128 Samsung SSD for $140 and get DDR2 RAM for my Mac. It supposedly is upgradeable to 4Gb according to Apple specs but other geeks had 6GB with a 4 Gb stick and a 2 GB stick.
The machines geekbench score is better than my current samsung laptop.. So i'm thinking of selling my samsung and upgrading my mac.
Now what Im wondering is how much will it help my Mac for an SSD upgrade and a 6Gb ram upgrade? The computer itself "lags" with 720p Youtube videos but is fine with 480.
The processor is clocked at 2.16ghz. Thanks.
All the current specs of the machine is in the link above.

1 AnswerFish8 years agoWhy is my fish tank Yellow-Brown?
I have a 20 gallon tank. I have two goldfish and one of them are fat and one's not. I got my new fish in November '12, and Its been 4 months without a water change, because I think its too much of a hassle. (Tutorial would be nice) I've noticed that my tank was getting discolored so I got a filter. I'm thinking about doing dual filters due to the amount of fish poop in the tank. I have limited gravel, so it doesn't even cover the whole entire bottom tank. I have two artificial plants. I think its algae so I was going to buy the Green Killing Machine(Algae Killer). I just wanted clarification and if it is not algae, what is it and what should I get in order to eliminate it. Thanks best answer gets 10!
