Newbee with question.
Hey guys i recently bought an Rx8 and the car doesn't turn on right away. It usually takes about 3 seconds to start. This is an 04 with 84k on the odometer. Would this be considered normal? I'm new to the rotary engines so I don't know much. I've been reading about these engines flooding. Is this a flooding issue? It does this every time I want to start the car. Please don't tell me I've bought a lemon.

first of all: Welcome.
Secondly: Bad thread title.
Third: Search
Fourth: No that is not normal. If you have any maintenance records see when the coils, spark plugs, and wires were changed, if unsure, I'd start there. Also, if unsure, change all fluids, Trans, Oil, Diff, etc. Just good to start fresh. Also Search Premix, its a good idea regardless of what others may say. Im a genius... says so in the name.
Fifth: Since its an 04, you might want to install the upgraded starter, and a better battery, search for recommended batteries.
Sixth: Enjoy.
