Hello,
I can't post anywhere else so I am posting here hoping for some help. If you are in the Austin,TX area and can meet that would be even better.
Anyway here is the problem that I have. I just moved here from Arizona and I drove my rx8 here. I broke down just before I arrived and I was able to fix that problem. I actually caused that problem because I had just replaced the fuel pump assembly nut and apparently did not put the lock ring for the fuel line on properly. I got here fine, but a couple of days later with my car just sitting, I went to start it and it would not start, even after the deflooding process. About 6 months ago I replaced the spark plugs and the spark plug wires, but I did not replace the ignition coils at that time. I bought new ignition coils and have replaced them, but my car still will not start. I have done what I can to verify that the gas is getting to the engine, and it cranks fine (slowly now that I drained the battery trying to get it started) seems to me that it would have to be an ignition problem again, but the spark plugs and wires do not have that many miles on them. The only other possibility that I can think of is that the engine is flooded and the deflooding process did not remove enough of the gas, I did let it sit for a few days hoping that would help, but it did not help. If it is still flooded, then I would need some tools and a jump start, battery charger, or a charged battery.
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff
