I have a Maxda RX-8, Standard. I cannot get the car to start and think it is flooded. It just wont turn over. It has been a few days now and still wil not start. Any Ideas!? Thanks.

This happens alot with all Rotary Engines. Will most likely have to get it towed to a mechanic. They can de-flood it for you. Did you move the car really quick? or somehow turn it on and then turn it off? With rotaries you should always rev it up to 3-4 RPMs - never turn it on then turn off. If you do that it dumps gas in the rotary - then you turn it off, it doens't burn that gas(unless you rev it) then you turn it on again and it dumps another load of gas into the rotary and its flooded. Won't start till you de-flood it.
