My 2005 RX-8 wont stay idling when I use anything electrical

Asked by haleyvandersluys Apr 06, 2016 at 08:36 AM about the 2005 Mazda RX-8

Question type: Car Customization

I have a 2005 RX-8 that had a misfire in the engine that I had fixed but the
same problem was still happening. For some reason the idle would be
completely fine until I turn on the heat, move the stearing wheel or turn on the
headlights, I already checked the battery terminals, all the ground wires are
fine. I can't figure out what's wrong. Help!!!

Yeah the check engine light is on but its reading that the engine is still misfiring, I ordered coils to change them out, just waiting for them to get shipped.

Plugs and wires have already been replaced, MAF was replaced, ESS is fine, Compression is within, the normal limits, I have to check on the other thing but those seem unlikely to cause it to stall out when any electronics are being used doesn't it?

Have you checked the voltage at the battery with the engine running?
