Also, has anyone had their starter or battery replaced at North Hill Mazda because of slow starting problems? Were they OK to replace them or did they resist??
Well if you rev it up, take the clutch out it will engage the gear and your car will launch forward even if it's turned off

It doesn't burn the clutch because it's fully depressed and not engaged..

Sooo, i stored my 8 for most of december and over the weekend it was actually not to bad out temp wise.. so I thought i'd take the 8 out for a quick spin around the neighborhood.. So i get in the car and noticed that the steering wheel was up a bit and was in gear (where i parked it there is no incline or decline so i leave it in neutral). So i think hmmm someone drove my car, go to start it.. nothing happens, I try again let it crank for about 10seconds and still nothing..

So now i'm a little concerned.. I go inside and ask my dad, hey did you move my car? He was like "uhh yea, i had to move the car about 2 feet into the carport" .. so i asked did you let it warm up!!! he said well no i just moved it two feet..

AHHHHHHHHH, i've told him every single day NOT TO DO THAT!! and he still did it!! So now my car has joined the engine flooded club dammit!

I'm in MN (granted not quite as cold as Canada) but had similar hard start issues. Got the battery/starter/plugs replaced and it's like a totally different car when it's starting now. Turns over with like a snap, no more struggle.
