Outlaws eXtreme 03-31-2005 05:14 PM

Flooded!

Dotson408 03-31-2005 05:16 PM

No when you turn the car on it shows the gas before fully starting I have plenty of gas I never let it get down past a quarter of a tank lol

Dotson408 03-31-2005 05:17 PM

And when the key is turned on somewhere in the engine bay I can here like a noise like a noise that sounds...like beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee like faint like.

GotZoom 03-31-2005 05:17 PM

Dotson...how does it sound again? I think I might know.

Is it like a Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

or a little lower like a baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa with breaks in the middle?

Dotson408 03-31-2005 05:18 PM

How can it be flooded...and how do I start it?? lol

Dotson408 03-31-2005 05:19 PM

That is different.

Dotson408 03-31-2005 05:32 PM

I think it is supposed to do that tho...

GotZoom 03-31-2005 05:33 PM

But it just doesn't start right?

Dotson408 03-31-2005 05:38 PM

Could it be my plugs?

Dotson408 03-31-2005 05:39 PM

It will whine like its cranking but will not hit and fire

GotZoom 03-31-2005 05:39 PM

Does it try to turn over if you don't push the gas pedal?

Dotson408 03-31-2005 05:46 PM

no

GotZoom 03-31-2005 05:49 PM

OK....it's not a Beeeeeee. It's more of a Baaaaaaaaaa low hum.

You have gas.

And it doesn't even try to turn over with pushing the gas pedal.

Is that correct?

Dotson408 03-31-2005 05:53 PM

Yes...

Outlaws eXtreme 03-31-2005 05:59 PM

Flooded :P

Dotson408 03-31-2005 06:00 PM

Call Mazda Roadside Assistance and have them pickup the car and fix it under warranty. Or at least read the section of the owners manual that deals with de-flooding an engine. Fully charge the battery, do the de-flooding procedure and if that doesn't get it started, you nee to turn the problem over to Mazda.

The low hum you hear is probably the fuel pump. When the key is first turned to the accessory position the fuel pump relay is triggered for a few seconds to prime the fuel line.

I just took my 8 out of storage and was checking the air filter and disconnected the MAF sensor to open the airbox. I forgot to re-connect it. I didn't think anything of the CEL and battery light on due to the fact that I just re-connected the battery for the first time in 5 months. Started fine the first time but after it would only start by manually giving it gas from the pedal. I doubt that this is your problem but it's something possibly worth checking.

Dotson408 03-31-2005 06:26 PM

Well, I tried cranking it got it to fire but it died now My battery is dead from trying to get it to start ...lol...My im charging it haha

Outlaws eXtreme 03-31-2005 07:07 PM

It's flooded, the more you try to start it, the more the battery will die out.. most likely you'll have to get it towed and have it fixed. Or you can try Deflooding it yourself with the DIY thread... but since your car is still under warranty, might as well let them handle it.
