Hey there!! I have a 2004 RX8 and I think I may have flooded my engine. something pretty common with the 2004 model. I've talked to several mechanics that all tell me different things. I cant even trust the mazda mechanic I saw because he told me things that my dealer said was wrong. I'm here because I know that the people on this website are well informed about RX8's. If anyone can maybe come and look at my car to see what it might possibly be, to save me the 500 fee..I would be eternally grateful. Its to the point where it may get towed. Someone also recently hit my car. I've been screwed ALOT this year.. I just need someone to tell me what's wrong with my car.. that's all.. So I dont pay for some unnecessary stuff that I dont have to.
It's pretty weird.. I turn the key and it sounds like it's going to start, but it doesnt. It cranks but doesnt start.. Some guy said that it needs a spark? not to sure. Its not the gas or the battery. Any ideas?? Please someone come save me! I'm freaking out.

if it helps.. I'm a model.. ;)

in that case I'll be right over . It'l take me a few days of travel to get there though LOL

Seriously - I think you have a flooded engine and this can be very easy to fix .

I wont go into all the technical stuff . All you need is two or three strapping lads to push start the car . Do you know anyone who can help you ?

:suspect:

she had me at 'i'm a model' :D:

atilla i say we make a trip!!!!

I got my tools :naughty:

I got my tools :naughty:

non-sense! I have faith! .....and some pills, you never know :suspect: :lol:

pics of this "model" NOW!

pictures first and then we'll send Atilla to fix your car. :D:


on a serious note, the car definitely sounds like it's flooded.
There are some instructions here on how to unflood the car, do you think you'd be willing to give it a shot? (not sure how mechanically inclined you are. If you're not, that's okay, we'll figure something out )

:D:

will wrench for models :D:

Could always try having someone help you push start it as mentioned above
