Hi guys,
this is my son's Mazda RX8...he has been letting me drive it...
it started not wanting to start with the battery light on
it did this to me 3 times
i told him
i got ignored
i did stop to wash it stop/start
did it then
and start/stop in the driveway 2x's
he put the new battery last night
said he can not start it
i heard the starter click/buzz
so he is gettin the charge
but nothing![Suspect](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/suspect.gif)
with a starter that could be it..the sound?
if it were completely dead could be the alternator?
and i read about the rpm rush it needs when turning on and off
i was not doing that...
so now he is talking spark plugs..
what i have researched
the plugs can get wet from flooding
he is getting the flooding smell he said
do you guys
have experience that u might send me on the next step here?...
start with plugs?
thanks
kathy
