I've posted a youtube video of my dashboard during startup with audio.

Last week I flooded my 2005 RX8 (manual, 101879kms, Nustart starter/alarm, most recent flash, upgraded Mazda starter via warranty). I live in Quebec, Canada and it was starting to get cold. left my girls place which is 15mins away .

Attempted to perform the de-flooding procedures per https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=182410&highlight=DEFLOODING

Had my friend boost my car made it to step 7 and came very close to starting the car – felt like I was making progress. Went back to step 4 and repeated the process – couldn’t get the car to start. Repeated process again without any luck. On my last try, I removed the jumper cables, reconnected the fuel pump fuse and re-attached the air pump connector and cranked the engine.

Thats about it, my dealer is saying that it might be my spark plugs and starter
what do you guys and gals think, thanks

do plugs and coils, retry deflooding and that may help out a lot. Your starter does sound a little weak, but if you have the upgraded starter then i think your battery could be crapping out on you

have your car pull started. Easiest way to fix a flooded engine.

edit: only works with manual transmission

Your response should say "will" instead of "might".
Otherwise, you coming here and asking for help, then shrugging it off when it is offered could be considered slightly offensive, and you may find offered help harder to come by in the future
