It has become quite obvious that Mazda did not do a great job of the ignition setup on the RX-8 (this is in stark contrast to that of the RX-7′s that come before)
The original coil packs fitted the the car have a maximum service life of 30’000 miles. Essex Rotary (and many other specialists for that matter) highly recommend owners to renew their ignition coils at this recommended interval. Failure to do so can have the knock on effect of damaging your catalytic converter at the very least. For More information on keeping your ignition components up to scratch please contact us.
