hmm sounds like maybe the car was cold and you had started/stopped the motor in short periods of time. this can cause flooding. follow standard rx-8 flooding procedures provided in your owner's manual. If that doesn't work...I'm sure taking it to an actual mazda dealer will at least provide you with diagnostic data.
