I took my rx8 to houston from san antonio and hung out around houston for the weekend and noticed sunday that my engine sounded off but didnt think much about it since i couldnt do anything about til i got back to san antonio. I left later that day and made it 80 miles from the house after about 200 miles of straight highway i stopped to get gas, when i tried to start the car back up it wouldnt start and hasnt started since. i had it towed to my house i swapped out the plugs plugwires and coils thinking that might be my problem but it still wont start, i even have deflooded it just in case and still nothing, what do you think is wrong with it?

Edit: Its been Rough idling since i bought it which i figured was my plugs, plugwires and/or ignition coils going out (which might have been but i havent gotten it running since i swapped them). I've driven it 7k without getting an oil change, only adding a quart every 1000 miles to make up for what it burns. It has a brand new battery and battery connections. Also its a '04

 

Where in SA are you, we might be able to help. Does it crank strong? Check out the SARX page on FB.

 

About an hour south by Pleasanton. And i suppose it does i can hear it crank but no fire.

 

But does it sound like a lazy crank or strong? Can you post a video? Air, fuel, and fire, thinks simple.

 

No i cant post a video my phone is too stupid to let me, but it sounded strong when i tired making the video.

 

Pull the back seat up on the drivers side, you will see the fuel pump access, turn the key to the on position and tell me if you hear the pump run for a couple of seconds.

 

My mechanic pulled the fuel line engine side and its getting fuel

 

Well, that's one way to do it, Not much of a mechanic though if he hasn't figured it out yet.

Since you do have a "mechanic" there, then try diagnosing it properly.

Engine ---> System Troubleshooting

"Getting fuel"... and getting 65+ psi are different things. If you are going to test stuff do it properly or you are wasting your time and money

 

That was a week ago that he was out here, I had him swapping my coils since its all new territory for me

 

Did you try pulling a plug, covering the hole with a clean rag, and cranking in deflood mode to make sure there isn't any extra fuel in it? If the rag gets real oily you still need to deflood.
