My Rx was running great when I moved it 2 nights ago. Got in it yesterday to go to work and it cranks over but will not start. I tried again last night after work and again today around lunch time and it still cranks over but acts like it is not getting any spark. Any ideas of what might be going on.

Sounds like a flood. Are you aware of the need for proper ignition maintenance? Coils, plugs, and wires need to be replaced about every 30,000 miles. If yours are older than that, order a new set (autoparts stores sell them online, usually with discounts, or from Mazmart if you want to be sure to have the right stuff and the latest revisions). Replacing takes about an hour and is really simple. Then do a deflood (search on here for DIY Deflood), and it should run fine.

The only other reasons for flooding are a failing battery, corroding battery connections, failing starter, or failing engine compression, so if you know one of those has a problem, then start there first instead.

Most new owners aren't aware of how rough a beating our ignition takes though...
