battery dead, installed new, won't start?
Hi guys, this is my son's Mazda RX8...he has been letting me drive it...
it started not wanting to start with the battery light on
it did this to me 3 times
i told him
i got ignored
i did stop to wash it stop/start
did it then
and start/stop in the driveway 2x's
he put the new battery last night
said he can not start it
i heard the starter click/buzz
so he is gettin the charge
but nothing
with a starter that could be it..the sound?
if it were completely dead could be the alternator?
and i read about the rpm rush it needs when turning on and off
i was not doing that...
so now he is talking spark plugs..
what i have researched
the plugs can get wet from flooding
he is getting the flooding smell he said
do you guys
have experience that u might send me on the next step here?...
start with plugs?
thanks
