2004 RX8 wont start?
I went out the the garage the other day and my rx8 would not start. Turns over but will not fire. It ran fine a week or so before that. Where do I start? What can I do to try to remeduy this without having to tow it to a service dept? Anyone else have this happen. Really odd to all of a sudden just not start after having no problems. Any help would be appreciated.

Since you have a manual transmission, have you tried towing/pulling-start? Many say to put it in second gear, but what I did before I changed my starter is have it in first. Turn the car to ON then put the car in motion while depressing the clutch pedal, once the car reaches 5 - 10 mph release the clutch and you will feel the car budge as it struggles to start. Immediately depress the clutch again and place the gear in neutral. That would start the engine, it will struggle then your RPM will eventually settle. I would post a video, but I'm a one-man-crew...
