Hello,

Welcome to the forum.

For any issues you have try using google search. In this case you would try rx8club starting issues.

You would have found this link.
https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-tro...t-here-222584/
You may also find the links in my SIG helpful.

Whatever issue you have, someone has had it and it is documented here. You just have to look.

Enjoy

Travis

Could be flooded. Most of the time that's the issue. First thing you want to do is test your ignition system parts and replace if needed (ignition coils, spark plugs and spark plug wires). Once you know those are good, follow the deflood procedure in this vid and get back to us if you were able to get it running.
