04 rx8 wont start

dimanche 21 décembre 2014

Hi so i did do some searching but I have a few questions specific to my situation...



So my car is 04 MT, its been sitting for a few months, drivin every now and then. Last ran a week ago. Now it wont start, it is cranking. Today I tried to start it, i cranked it for about 8-10 seconds. So I got my battery charger which has a starting mode which provides 160 amps.



So i believe its flooded at this point, when i try to start it with the jumper starter hooked up, it just cranks.. fast. I tried holding in the gas and cranking for 10 seconds... didn't start. After that I tried starting for about 10 seconds without gas held in and it didn't start.



Any advice? Is it flooded? How safe is using the 160 amp jumper? I'm worried if I try to start it with the gas held in and the engine revs up it could be dangerous for the battery? How long should I wait between attempts?



Thanks, just really hate calling a toe truck to take it to a mechanic so he can over charge me for new plugs, coils, etc. Both of which were replaced last winter in the same situation..
