How do you program the transponder key for a 2004 Mazda RX-8?
Ok, here it is, very simple. On the drivers door panel(on the car, not the door) there is a black button. Turn your igniton on, without starting the car, then off, three times, after you have switched the ignition on/off three times, hit that black button three times. The lock on the car will go crazy for a couple seconds. You car remote is now programmed.

Where do you add coolant to Mazda rx-8?
you add it in the expansion tank located at the front left when facing the opened hood - its the white / clear plastic tank with a metal cap on the top of it.
only open the cap when the engine is cold or it will boil the coolant and cause it to spurt boiling coolant (water) all over you and you car's engine.
Where to get a turbo installed on a Mazda RX8?
Pettit Racing in West Palm Beach now has a supercharger kit for the RX8, but they have done turbochargers on rotarys for over 15 years.
The RX8 ECU is installed into the black plastic box on the front, passenger (US) side of the engine bay.
Does a Mazda rx8 have a cambelt?
No, since there are no valves, there was no need for a cam shaft or belt. Or, all the parts that go with it. No header mechanism required.
Step 1: Open driver side door and leave open. Step 2: Lock and Unlock the drivers door using the power door lock switch on the door Step 3: Insert key into the ignition. Step 4: Turn Key to ON position and return to Lock (off) position. Do this 3 times within 10 seconds. LEAVE key in the ignition in Lock (off) position. Step 5: Close and open the drivers door 3 times. Leave door open after this step Step 6: ECU should respond by locking and unlocking the doors once. Step 7: Press any button on remote #1 twice. ECU responds by locking and unlocking the car doors. Step 8: Additional remotes, repeat Step 7 for up to 3 remotes total. Step 9: Remove the key from the ignition and the ECU will respond a final time with a series (about 4) of door locks and unlocks. You're done!
How much does it cost to fill the tank of Mazda rx-8?
- Depends how much was left in the tank.
- Who cares anyway? Tank size says nothing about fuel economy.

Where is the location of engine coolant sensor on 2004 Mazda RX8?
It is in the coolant expansion tank
Problems with this sensor are common as they are pourous and take up coolant, eventually sinking and bringing on the coolant check light. You most likely will need to change the coolant expansion tank to cure the problem as it is usually sold as a unit.

How do you stop condensation building up in the rear lights on a Mazda rx8?
something is wrong with the seal. take it to a shop and have the seal replaced
If you have kept regular oil changes, no prep is required. Just go and put the synthetic oil in.
The RX has an imobilizer system. IF it does not recognize the proper key, it will automatically set itself off. If the key light on your dash is flashing red, you need to replace the key battery. If not than you would have to take it to a dealership to get it re programed.
1. Problems with emissions control. Rotary engines use direct oil injection and this means oil is constantly burning with the fuel.
2. Economies of scale. Due to the complex nature of rotary engines very difficult to repair in relation to piston engines and very few people are trained to maintain and build these engines
3. Fuel consumption. Rotary engines are notoriously expensive to run on fuel.
4. Lack of low down torque/driveability. Rotary engines makes a tremendous amount of power at high RPM but insignificant torque in the lower rev ranges.
5. Ignorance. If more people disregard all of the above and eventually get to drive a rotary powered for for a while, they'd be converted. Unfortunately almost all rotary owners are petrolheads and adrenalin junkies!
