She Ain't Starting
Went to fire up the RX-8 this morning an she would not turn over. The battery is fine. This car is newer to me so I have no idea where to start. Could someone point me in the right direction?

Just to clarify...
Does the car attempt to start but just continuously cranks or when you turn the key nothing happens?

It attempts to crank. When I tried in the morning it sounded like it wanted to fire but couldn't. When I went back to it later in the day...it sounded like it wasn't even coming close to firing.
