[QUOTE="HankScorpio, post: 2495550, member: 801567"] These cars have a problem with flooding if you shut the car off without it being fully warmed up. 1)You should use regular non-synthetic in the rx8 and all rotaries. 2)You fouled the plugs because you used a fuel system treatment in this engine; it has direct injection...meaning what you put in the fuel system went full bore into combustion. You probably also damaged exhaust components in the process. 3)There is no fuel pressure issue...the issue is flooding and it's a common problem for which a tsb exists. 4)If you do any work on this car in the future read the tsbs before you touch it. 5)SSV code is caused by build up of deposits on this valve...this is an AIR VALVE. A fuel treatment on a direct injection system would never solve this issue on a regular vehicle (if said valve existed in a regular engine), it's a part that needs to be physically cleaned in the rx8 by removing the intake manifold and cleaning it with carb cleaner and a rag.
