hey guys... all the gas stations in my area are all out of premium gas(alabama) cuz of the hurricane related stuff.. so RX8 is completely out of gas

i have 3 cars(rx8, lexus suv, and toyota rav4) and my rav4(our3rd car) has some gas that hasnt been used in couple mnths.

when i started the car up and acted lil funny but i kinda expected that since not been started in forveer.. and we moved it in our driveway.. and it sounded fine..

but when i turned the car off .. the suv is completely dead.. no power at all..even the power locks dont work..

anyone have any clue what it can be'/???

i tried jumping it but nothing.. no sound at all. no clicking or anything

i dont wanna spend $ cuz this is my 3rd vehicle but this suv has been so reliable.

any techies have a clue

thanks

Loose electrical connection, or possible the battery has just died, especially if you haven't used it in a couple months. Hook up a battery charger and see what happens after a couple hours.

yeah trickle charge is your friend... if that doesn't work... I dont know man

Also, a tank of regular is not a big deal with the 8, just remember to fill it with premium ASAP after that

it polly died cuz it doesnt run on roatarys :D, but i think it could be a loose connection ive had a similar problem in the pasted because of wires not being properly connected, so i would say to check tat out first

Yep dead battery. Charge it overnight and you will be fine.

they sell them at walmart. about 20 bucks or so for a cheap one. i got one for my trolling motor battery. works good.

about anywhere sells them walmart is good also sounds like a very very dead battery to me and a tank of reg is not bad for the 8 if it "knocks" just get some octane booster and u will b good to go
