See this is what bothers me (aside from the $200 it's costing me). They say, yes, it is flooded. But I thoroughly tried to de-flood, and I don't understand what they might have done that I didn't do. In this order, I:
1) Fully charged the battery using wall power overnight, and kept charger plugged in during starting attempts
2) did the "crank for 10 seconds with the gas pedal depressed" thing a few times
3) took out the fuel pump fuse and removed the spark plugs entirely and cranked it to "clear out" any gas.
4) Removed all the plugs and let it sit overnight to let any gas evaporate
5) Bought a BRAND NEW set of plugs, tried starting with fresh plugs and after sitting overnight, with a fully charged battery. If that doesn't fix a flood, WTF else can they do at the shop??

heres the fix that we do that has worked for me 2-3x in my own garage on the rx8. and a dozen times on my rx7's and friends.
jump it with another vehicle, someone giving it gas at about 4krpms then crank the 8 with the pedal down and 3-4 with pedal off.
once cranks you will see the exhaust have white smoke come out.
