It Won't Ignite!

I haven't driven my car for about 4 days. However, I start it everyday and let it idle. This morning I went to turn on the ignition and it would not start. It was in the high 40s last night and today, but I didn't think the temp. affected the ignition that much! What is wrong?! What should I DO? Someone plz help me.

Thanks,
Will

It could be flooded, do a search for the deflood procedures and give that a shot. If that doesn't work then you will probably have to take it in to Mazda.

If its cranking...it might be flooded...

If you are not getting any cranking...its a dead battery...

If you want to deflood easy...roll it down a hill and pop the clutch in 2nd...

WTF are you doing not driving your car? You deserve to be taken out back and beaten with a large wet, glistening with sweat...noodle...

Were you trying to flood it on purpose? Every bit of Mazda literature says not to do this.

My old neighbor had an '85 RX7 rusting away in his driveway- I guess he had a rottary.

Yeah, hopefully it will be out by tomorrow. Sorry for losing my mind. I know 2 of my best friends had the same problem and both times mazda came out and towed their cars. I got mine towed yesterday to fix my suspension issues. o Yea i'll get my father to start it next time, maybe the car will be more reliable then. God dame engine of the year...
