I was in to have my dealer check my CEL on my RX 8....it was my gas cap...I neglected to fasten it after my fill up. As I was waiting and eyeing about 15 CX 7's....(mostly black ones), the sales man I have been chatting with see's me and chats with me. He tells me now all the CX 7's have to have a pre inspection on the engine before it leaves the dealership.....intersting and I guess good. Maybe to avoid the CEL lights from coming on in the first 1000 miles or so? Well, just thought I'd share that. Hmmmm....maybe that would have been good to do on the RX 8's. As you may or may not know....voluntary emissions recall on all the engines of 2004-2006 RX 8's. If your car does not pass the testing you get a new engine.....if it does you are sent on your way and if it needs a few things like cataltyic converter, spark plugs, new starter, battery than you get that fix. Oh and they extended our powertrain warranties an extra year and 10,000 miles automatically for free.
