2004 RX-8 Starting/ Shifting problems

2004 Auto? Those were a bit problematic when they first came out. It could be a carbon build up issue which has lowered the compression which means the engine could be going.

FORTUNATELY the rotary engine is warrantied for 8 years / 100,000 MILES so have your brother call the dealership and tell them he has "severe lack of power" (those are the key words) and they'll get him in for diagnostic
