stuck don't know what to do

Ok so for starters this is not my car so on't know to to much about it. It is an 04 Rx-8 auto, has 92k miles on it (motor was replaced once already cause a bad seal at around 55k miles). His coils, plugs, and wires were replaced about 3k miles ago. As for anything else don't really know but can find out is needed just ask!

Ok so the issue is it won't start. I have read and learned these motors are notoriuos for flooding relatively easily, I have already replaced the coils and plug wires again as the plugs still looked fine! So didn;t spend the $22 dollars a plug to replace those. After replacing all that the car still had trouble starting. XD So finally got it started up and it had a rough idle sitting at about 550rpm. So i hooked up my timing light to the plug wires to see what was going on. the two closest to the front of the car were great!! the back to how ever and nothing going on no spark at all!!

I took everything back off and checked my connections and what not and they were all fine no problems or anything good contacts every where. what else can cause this to happen?? I'm at a stand still here!
