i have a 2004 rx8 and recently while following my GPS i was taken to a narrow path where as i drove more and more hay appeared and i had no choice but to drive over it. the next day the car wouldn't start. i thought maybe the radiator was being blocked by the hay and tried to remove as much as possible from yhe front in the bumper but no luck.. i dont know much about cars so is there anyone that might know whats wrong with the car

You haven't given us very much information. Did it over heat? What happens when you try to start it. Does it just click? Does it turn over? Does it sputter?
You need to get a hold of a code reader to see what error codes are set in the computer.

sorry about that, I haven't really used this site before.
so when i try to start it, it makes the exact same noise as if its about to start except the engine doesnt turn on and the noise continues for as long as i turn the key. Some emission comes out of the exhaust as well. What else would you like to know?
Sounds like it is flooded...if it is a MT...put the tow hook in it and have one of your buddies tow start it If it is an AT...you have to do it the hard way
