My 2005 Rx8 Starting Problem

I've had my Rx8 for about 6 months now. Always had a Idle problem... Slight Rumble when Idling. 2 days ago I got into my car(at night so cold). Drove 2 Blocks to my house. Then just shut off the car. Woke up next morning and all my car would do is roll over. Wouldn't start. My guessing since its a 1.3 Rotary is that it is flooded. So I took out my Fuel relay and Gas pump relay. Then rolled the car over with my foot on the petal for like 10 sec to clean out the flood. Still not starting.

I took out my spark plugs and there flooded. Just replaced them about 20 mins ago. It still just rolls over... Any Ideas?

I put my brother truck to it. Was Dying kind of fast. Like after 10~15 sec I could see lights inside the dash dimming. I have a battery charger on it right now going all night so I will find out soon. Starter*.... That IDK... The Engine is rolling over.
