To anyone that can help me!! My name is Jim and I recently bought a 05 RX-8 with 35k and now about 38k+. When I first bought it, I had battery issues. The guy b4 had already replaced it from oem. Anyways, now about 4 months later my car won't start?? Went to local parts store and had them test the alternator; and it was fine. I can start by jumping it. But now I see a round red circle with a picture of a key in the center. I looked in the owner's manual, and it said something about when you turn the key from on/off to acc?? And if it won't start, that I have to go to the Mazda dealership?? As you can see, I'm new to this club and couldn't find where to post my problem. So if anyone can help or confirm about having to go to the dealership, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Jim

Jim sounds like you have a security system issue. i would start in your book first at page 3-24 , check out what you can first. your key may need to be recoded. ((not getting the right singel )) or you may need to buy new keys.
if you have a spair key try it .

if someone is going to make this a sticky, why don't we have a collection of all the things wrong that is typical of why the RX8 won't start. Like the specs of what battery the car takes and what batteries will and wont work? Something useful. So if you know where there is a thread that might help, how about putting that link here in this thread to help everyone else.

Hey everyone i need some help pls.
At first it took a couples of secoNds to start the car now it would not start at all even when cranking it for a couple of seconds. At first i thought it was the sparkglugs so i replaced it . Still the same. Then i checked the charge of the battery it still wasnt it. What could be the problem? Is it flooded and how do i fix that? Any help
would be appreciated .
