Rx8 starting.. But not turning over

Hey team, just got my first rx8 haven't had it long installed a new clutch beginning of this year. Car had been fine running sweet but now out of the blue went to jump in my car and start it but dosnt turn over instead makes weird fan noise and the rev gauge bounces around 3000rpm. Still dosnt turn the motor over nor will it try spark.

Shouldn't the title be "Turning over, but not starting"?

I had the same problem with my rx8 last week turned out the connection to my MAF got disconnected when i was working on the engine. Make sure the connection is good and that it isn't all gunked up.

I had the same problem today. Did an oil flush and she wouldn't catch. Getting new plugs tomorrow since mine were in bad shape anyways. Hope this solves it.
