Need advice!!!!!!!!!!
My RX-8 wont start.....when you turn the engine over it just makes a high pitch noise and sounds like the starter and motor are spinning, but never hits one time. When you let off the key ist still spins......I am thinking timing belt/chain...or maybe broken bendix on the starter.....anyone have any ideas? Also, about what I am going to spend on a repair?

We dont have timing belts or a timing chain, are you sure its not a bearing in the air pump that is screaming, what happens when you turn the key to the "on" position, is the noise there ? If it is, disconnect the air pump electrical connection and do a "de-flood" procedure.

probably. mine was tempermental and would make me sit in parkinglots for 10 minutes trying to start it. After 2 weeks of that B.S. I went had a new on put in. They said my 8 was the quickest they ever seen start up after that. If you arent a Do it yourselfer. Its gonna cost around $600. If it flooded, you might consider new plugs, coils and wires tacking on another $450 or so.
