Car : Mazda RX 8 04 6mt
So yesterday morning i moved my car about 10 meters and after 6-7 hours i try to start it but nothing happens ! First is sound like low battery but today i put on a new one ! The engine still not start, now is sound to me that the compression is low...

You do you think i have to check first ? I need help...

Use this.

Some people(with someone else there to assist) just pull the fuel pump relay and attempt to start the car. Once it fires............plug that relay in really quick and keep it running.

Think if I knew it was flooded, I'd go ahead and pull the plugs first to look, as most times they are soaked and need to be cleaned or replaced. While the plugs are out either follow those instructions above or pull the fuel pump relay and get all that unburnt fuel out of there by cranking the engine. Put a cloth or rag near the plug holes!

pull and gently clean the plugs. remove the fuel pump relay. add a small amount of oil into the lower plug holes(if its really flooded) and reinstall the plugs. crank the engine. when it starts, reinstall the fuel pump relay.

I will try to do this today with a little help....! I hope this is the problem ... Thanks a lot Mazurfer and mazdaverx7 !

yeah just sounds flooded follow the above procedure and u should have no problem and have it up and runningwithin a half hour

did you manage to get the engine up and running?

Not yet.... Today my engineer will be connect the Diagnostic to the car to find out what is happening....

is the CEL coming on at all?

Finally i brought my car home... I change my spark plugs only ! :)

So, spark plugs caused the car to not start after it started fine and ran for a few moments...

I think it was flooded and the old plugs may have been fine.

My old spark plugs...

^ hmm. . . new ones probably won't hurt anything. :)

I retract my statement.

They should be a little more tan for the RX8 as they are all some what black because they run rich.

Best thing to do is either buy the coils form BHR (hotter spark) or buy the AP from MM (proper AF ratio).

Either item should prevent flooding from occuring again.

Hi need sum phone numbers for good rx8 engine rebuilds in north west can anyone help ?
