As titled, the other day I excitedly got in my rx8 for its first (legal) drive out on the road...backing out of my driveway I hit a bump and the battery terminal knocked loose, causing a misfire and quick stall. The engine had been running maybe 2 minUtes so I suspected flood right away. It's my own stupid fault for not checking the tightness, totally own up to that. However after reconnecting and re-checkig the battery connections it cranks and cranks and won't start. I did the pedal-to-floor crank quite a bit and it didn't kick at all. Without pressing the pedal to the floor it kicks on one rotor (or maybe leading plugs?) and not the others. It seems very close to starting but never gets there. After this, I've done the pedal to the floor and get nothing back, which tells me it isn't flooded anymore but is just not getting spark. There is plenty of stinky white vapor coming out the exhaust too, seems like unburnt fuel. I have coils and plugs on order, but really need to get this thing going sooner rather than later since I owe the state an inspection within a few days. My question is, how much does it take to deflood, given my situation? Do you think it's possible that I fried a coil with the loose terminal (spikes in current)? Other options or thoughts? I'll post a video shortly.
