Answers:

Why do I need to have my brake fluid flushed? And how often should this be done?

I've had a very similar problem with a ford, it was the idle control valve, the symptoms sound exactly the same. I would reccomend replacing it, i cleaned and oiled mine and it was ok for a while but it gradually got worse and worse again. not sure whereabouts it is on the V6 engine, mine was a 4cyl and was very easy to take out only a couple of bolts. hope this helps you.

Id hazard a guess at the air idle controller sticking. this can cause it to hold well above idle and wander up and down. A tell tale sign is to hold the the accelerator in neutral and see if it holds steady or wanders.

How can I make my RX8 sound fast and sporty?

The throttle on Cougar's work on a rocker mechanism I think which if the car is a high-miler or worked hard then sometimes the cable slips over the rocker a little bit, I had the same problem on a Metro and a Ford Escort and it is usually curable with a bit of WD40 and tightening the cable up very slightly if you go too harsh on it then it will over-rev all the time so whilst trying to stop the car will keep going.

The likeliest cause is your idle control valve. Located on the throttle body, remove it and run some brake fluid through it. Let it dry out and bolt back on. It will likely have a small gasket on it so watch and not lose it when you remove it.
