RX8 at Mazda, possibly getting a new engine?
Well last week it was really cold and I didn't start the car for about 2-3 days. On the day I tried to start it, it would start. Engine turns but thats it. The night before was about 15* outside though. I had Mazda get to towed to them and now they say its either the battery for the engine. Its been 4 days and they can't even figure if its the engine or battery yet
Do you guys know what might be wrong?
Thanks.

Tow it to another dealer ship, how can they not know if it is the batter or not after 4 days? I wouldnt trust them on installing the battery correctly.
