To reset the trip computer in a Mazda RX-8, turn on the ignition without starting the engine. Locate the trip computer button on the dashboard or steering wheel; it may be labeled "Trip" or "Reset." Press and hold this button until the display resets to zero. Release the button, and the trip computer should now be reset.

Yes, you can start a Mazda RX-8 without changing the spark plugs, provided the existing plugs are in good condition and functioning properly. However, if the spark plugs are worn or fouled, they may cause starting difficulties or poor engine performance. Regular maintenance, including checking and replacing spark plugs as needed, is recommended to ensure optimal engine operation. If issues persist, further diagnostics may be necessary.
Because after you change a sensor you have to hook a OBD I or II to your computer's wire harness to clear the code. Or you can turn the backwards and then forwards and sometimes that will reset it. Either way changing the sensor won't reset the check engine light...U have to clear it thur your computer.
Does it have a check engine light? i so Scan the computer for code/s. Check the fuel pressure if its within specs with a fuel pressure tester-start here
The timing is controlled by the computer... so, probably not.
All years were fuel injected and included an ECU for engine management.
The ECU, or Engine Control Unit, in a Mazda RX-8 is the vehicle's central computer that manages engine performance and various electronic systems. It controls fuel injection, ignition timing, and emissions, ensuring optimal engine efficiency and responsiveness. Additionally, the ECU monitors various sensors and adjusts parameters in real-time to adapt to changing driving conditions. In the RX-8, which features a unique rotary engine, the ECU plays a crucial role in maintaining the engine's performance characteristics.
