Left the car at my shop took a long time to start!

So yeah guys I left my car at my car shop for a month because i went on vacation to Taiwan, Philippines, and Japan. I left my car because i had my boss polish and repaint my watanabes. So after a month of sitting on jack stands and my new wheels I came back and tried to start my car but it took forever. So after my worker air sprayed the engine bay it finally turned over and started. After it was fine from there. Do you guys know if I let the rotor sit for too long that this will happen? First time this has happened, well first time I left my rx7 w/o being at least started for a month.

Sounds like it flooded due to a weak battery and the extra air your coworker sprayed into the engine helped it ignite the extra fuel.

Yup, sounded like it was flooded. They may have started/moved it to the location and turned it off, causing the flood. The RX8club, a member made some nifty little picture about how not to flood the engine for shop people to read...I wish I could find it again.
