I had my 8 stored for about 4 months now. Trickle charge on the battery. I am ready to get driving it again, however my engine will not turn over. Battery is ok, lights work, etc. When I crank the engine for 10 seconds it does not turn over and start. My engine light, battery light, power steering light remain on. Any suggestion to get my car going again?

did you try the emergency start procedure? Gas pedal to the floor and crank. I know this is for flooded engines but it's worth a try. Other than that I think you tried your best and it's time for Mazda Roadside Assistance to step in.

Yes, thanks for your post, but I have tried that method as well.

I had the same problem with my 911. But first I'm not sure I undrestand what you mean. You say you crank it for seconds, if it cranks is it not turning over? Otherwise it would do nothing. Also just because the lights etc. work it may not have enough juice to turn over your engine. If you try to start it with the lights on do they dim? Check that the cables are on tight.

Sounds flooded, when you pulled you car into the garage before winter did you let it warm up before turning it off? Or have you started it at any point and shut it down before warming up?
