update: so we spent most of the after noon trying to put the spark plugs back, but it seams that my step brother fucked the thread up on the engine, so now the spark plugs dont go in straight. so now im fucked. it seams that my brother in-law put the spark plugs in crooked. so now i have no idea what to do!! so i left the car at my in-laws house again. might have it towed to mazda.

best of luck. I broke off the outside (white part) of a spark plug once in the plug hole. I just about **** a brick! But since there was no sort of pressure on it anymore I could easily unscrew it with my fingertip. Maybe did that happen? Over torque the spark plug.

I guess I've been fortunate with floods. I've started the 8 for like 2 mins and then shut it off when I'm about to wash it or when I forget to put it in the garage at night. I start it and park it inside and turn it off less than a minute. The car didn't start once but that was because the battery died for some reason. All I would hear is a clicking sound when I turned the key. But this isn't the case here I think.

Someone needs to start a "never flooded!" thread.
