Miracle car

I have an 83 rx7 with a 12a. she cranked over and made a noise that sounded like a cracked v8, so I shut her off and checked for obvious problems. there were none so I went to get a better idea, but she wouldn't turn over. a couple days later I came back and she fired up, doesn't make a noise but has next to nothing for power any ideas what's wrong?

Well the restart issue could have been that you flooded it.
