need help car not starting up after sitting there for 6months
How’s it going everyone I just got a problem with my rx-8 I had a crash at end of last year and it been at the panel beats for 6 month and it just been sitting there for 6 months or so with the battery disconnected and not been cracked for the 6month or so, he just changed the oil and he was just trying to start it up but nothing it cranks up but no sparks happening.
What do you guys think it causing it? by the We dd checked the ign fuse but that wasn’t.

Sometimes, the battery is too weak to turn the starter fast enough to start. By this time, it is flooded, so pull the spark plugs out and dry them. Also, inject some oil through the vacuum manifold ports, then crank the engine with the accelerator to the floor (to spread the oil but not add gasoline). Then jump start it. Also, might consider getting the Optima Yellowtop battery - a world of difference...

i got optima yellowtop lol.
ok we got the car started.
we don't really know what the problem was in the first place,it was flooded but don't really know what fixed it .
so this is what we did
1.i cleaned the o2 sencer and did the de-flooding method still nothing
2.so we pulled the sparkplug and cleaned it but nothing
3.we notice the gas was on low so we put some race petrol(that is all we had)
still nothing so we gave up for the day
4.next day we tryed it again and it just started up sweat lol
by the way when i say petrol was on low i don't mean empty still had around 1/4 petrol
