Asked by Daniel Oct 04, 2013 at 02:31 PM about the 2004 Mazda RX-8 RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

The check engine, traction control, coolant and AT  dash lights appear on a regular basis. Only when the AT light appears does the car have performance issues. The only light that stays on regularly is the check engine. General mechanic thinks an electrical or ground issue. Please advise

I would check the battery and alternator to make sure they're working properly. Not enough battery voltage can cause all types of issues.

How many miles are on the engine? I was having the same problems and then started losing power.. now I am told that that I need a new engine! Mine has almost 100,000
