2004 6-Speed: Flooded engine at 45,000 mi
 

First time poster -- hello to all

Moved my RX-8 from driveway to garage and didn't let idle for 5 minutes, then rev engine before turning off. Result = flooded engine and tow to dealer.

I had spark plugs replaced from flooding 11,000 miles ago. They recommended changing the plugs today, but I passed at $254. Starting fine at the moment.

Two questions:
1) How critical is it for me to replace the plugs soon?
2) Anyone know a good independent garage in Southwest Ohio (Dayton/Cinci area) I can start using for post-warranty service?

Thanks -- zoom zoom

anybody can use a wrench can replace the spark plug.

and it really depends on the condition of your spark plug

btw, it cost about 70 bux at AAP. all 4 plugs.

Also go read the DIY posted by Jon316G about his deflood process...it will save you a lot of time.
