Hey guys, quick question....I moved my car in the garage yesterday and forgot to let it warm up or to rev it to 4k for a few. I tried cranking it and it wouldnt...just sputters a bit here and there. Im sure i need new plugs as well, but how do I get the car unflooded? With my gst i took the plugs out for a few hours and then it cranked right up. Try that since I need new plugs anyways?

 

It won't hurt, and may help, to pull your plugs to deflood.

 

well u cold try the deflood procedure which is hold accelerator and crank for 15 sec intervals or take the plugs out, remove the fuel pump fuse crank to blow all the extra fuel etc etc out of the motor install plugs and fuse and should fire right up...usethe search function and u will find all the detail descriptions if u need more

 

Thanks! I will try that in a few...

 

Ok so I tried and now it just sounds like the starter crapped out. I knew it was going to go out soon...I guess the stress of me cranking and cranking trying to get it to fire up just finally made it go out. Ideas on the best place to go to get one? Dont want to go to satan...but if i get one from autozone or such, will it be the good one?

 

I think they offer Reman parts for the RX-8 at autozone.

 

Autozone don't sell anything for the 8... trust me.

 

lols this happened to me last thursday. it's insane how it is expensive in a shop to have done.

 

LIES! i got my exhaust tips from them and they said it was for the 8. j/p

Yeah then nvm about autozone.

 

dealer is prob the best bet....there was a recall on them for the 04's and mid 05's i think could always try that out!

 

WRONG!

Air freshners!

and Spinners!

 

Oh and they sell batteries for our car.

 

Yeah I went to advance to get some plugs....$20 a pop...I was like huh? Are you freaking serious? So much for $16 for a set of 4...

 

$16 for a set of four???? thats just CRAZY!!!! try $140 CND for a set of 4
