my 2004 mazda rx8 didnt start this morning. it was pretty cold. the car went click click click.. i havent had my Rx8 but for a few months. I think its a battery but i know there have been some issues with the 04's flooding. I dont know what type of noise it makes when its flooded. i had to take our 3rd car to work so didnt get a chance to jump it.

anyone think its just a battery .. and a new one will jus fix it. has me worried could be bigger issue. all i got was click click.

thanks guys.

wow yall r soo fast. lol. this is why i came here first.
well good ill have my wife jump me off then grab a battery.

i love my rx8. just dont have any car sense but i came to this site and got alot of helpful tips on how to avoid flooding so didnt think i flooded it.(knock on wood)

i always let it warm up couple minutes and never stop until halfway.

thanks guys!!!

 

yeah i come here first if i have any questions or problems...

those who know most about thier cars are those who take the time to read up on different things...forums are a good resource of info

 

well it just may be that the battery lost its charge.. just jump it and let it run for a while. don't spend money on a new battery just yet.

 

Check the charging system too.
