Angry Need Help with starting options

Hi All,

I bought my 1st 2004 RX8 and I have had it a few months now.
But I have an issue, it will not turn over, I turn the key and it and it makes the starting noise but it will not kick over at all, it just sits there trying too. It is not flooded either. Any ideas what it could be at all?? Any help would be much appreciated.

thank you very much.

How many miles?

Automatic or manual?

Any modifications?

How was the last time it ran? Was it a long drive or just a quick move on the driveway? Could it have overheated? Did it hold idle correctly?

How's the oil level?

Read the "starting issues START HERE" thread. There is a good checklist for troubleshooting parts with DIY'S included. It would be easier for you to go through that list than have us guess at what your issue could be.
