My Rx8 wont start

Hi!
I'm having a bit of a problem starting my Rx8. I suspected the problem being the usual flooding(I moved the car not letting it warm properly up and left it for 2-3 weeks).
I therefore replaced the plugs (which were due anyway, because of age), the old ones looked awfull, so I expected the car to start.
I tried both with the method recomended by the handbook(holding the throttle down, to prevent any fuel to be injected into the engine, while cranking), as well as cranking the car without the fuse for the fuelpump.
These teqniques have been tried a few times.

What I have observed is that the car has not ignited at all(not a single beat).
Could there be other issues? Could I have problems with the coil packs as well?


Cheers

Tor
