Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wassupp RX8 club, i own a 2004 Mazda Rx8 Auto bought it about a year ago. But now its been sitting for some time now. When i go to start the car all it dose is crank as if its about to turn on but it dosent. its sounds like its right there about to turn on but nothing, it just cranks.
i bought a brand new battery and it dose the same thing. the link below shows a video of what my car exactly dose but it dosent turn on at all.
If anyone can tell me or might know someone that can tell me whats the problem please send me a message

It may have been the battery, but it is certainly now flooded. You need to deflood the engine and probably get a new battery now since you drained it by trying to start the car repeatedly.
Edit: Look here for procedure on Deflood. If it isnt right, blame alfy

Stop using Bold font, it isnt that serious. You say your a Honda guy but dont know where spark plugs or spark plug wires are? I will assume by Honda guy you mean I fill up my gas and get an oil change every now and then.
Rotary Engines flood easy. It's the nature of the beast. There are plenty of DIY threads with pictures for even the most mechanically challenged people. If you can't do it, I'm sure you can find a friend.

I zoom therefore I am.
if you don't know how to click on the link that shows you how to deflood, or you just dont feel up to trying it... have the car towed to a mechanic.

I just LOVE non-descriptive thread titles and such awesome user names. 
car sounds like it's flooded.
click link
follow instructions or find someone mechanically inclined to help you with instructions.

My friend u r flooded!
U crank the engine all the lights come on but engine won't roll for nothing! Happened on my 05 auto when I lost my key! Car sat for a month towed it to the dealer sat for another 3 weeks (crappy Mazda dealer) finally got my new key went to start nothing happen! Long story short they hooked it up to what seemed to be a defibulator for ur car and cranked it like crazy lil by lil the engine started to turn over! Then in a huge puff of smoke my baby was back , they reved the engine alot and all was good!
Do the De-flood in the DIY section
