Help! Might be floodedz
 
Ok so I turned on my car moved it out and put it in the middle of my garage.
I jacked up the car because I am checking my exhaust, I have this rattling like if I have rocks in the muffler or the midpipe.
We take the midpipe off the resonator. And I decide to start the car see how it sounds.. Idk if that is what caused it but. Now the car won't start

1.) You need a new Kitty!

2.) Yep, you flooded it! Search ---> Search rx8club via Google

3.) If it's a manual, then tow start it in 2nd gear at about 18mph, and let the clutch out.

Try de-flooding it...read the de-flooding instructions on this site. Good luck.

Ok ok guys sorry I havent posted sense I put it up but I got it like literally 4 mins later.
Any idea how I flooded it?:o
Also I just did like
1. Clutch in and full throttle for 8 seconds (apparently it's like a fuel cut off.. Idk:p)
2. Then let it sit for few mintues.
3. Crank for 7 seconds
4. If it didn't work re try..
I did that like 2 times and BAM came to life:p
And also I cut off the midpipe from the muffler and took bolts off from the resonator.
Man it is loud haha
But why not have fun when I'm getting my exhaust soon? (;

You flooded it because you started it, moved it a little, and shut it off. Its that easy to flood these (For some people at least). I had mine flood on me over the winter, and pull starting it was the quick and easy answer for me.

Happy you got it working - Post videos of the new exhaust once its installed
