Ok here is how it is,

Last i drove my car was on easter sunday and it ran perfectly, satarted first time everything.
I have half a tank of fuel and battery is charged.

Now heres my problem,

Yesterday i went to start my car. i put the Key in and turn it over. I getnoise from the starter motor but my engine doesnt kick over So im guessing im not getting a spark. What do you think could cause this problem?
old spark plugs?
Faulty leads?

I have had enough time to check the spark plugs or leads due to working full time and having no time. But i was wondering if its not that then could it be something else?

I own a series 5 RX7 import.

are you sure it's not flooded? do you have an inductive timing light to check for spark? check all the fuses?

 

i doubt it would be flooded cos no one has been in the car since easter sunday. ill check all the fuses and leads + spark plugs. but could it be anything else? how can u tell its its flooded? and another thing is my engine isnt kicking over?

 

so all you're getting is the clicking sound from the starter solenoid? what about other systems, lights and such, with the key on?

 

not a clicking noise more like a whinding noise from the starter... all lights ,reds, interior lights jus no start.

 

then maybe the starter plunger's not engaging the flywheel? have you had any intermittant starter problems in the near past?

 

not since i bought the car

 

thats the same damn thing that happend to my car. last i drove it was around easter let it sit for like 3 or 4 days go to start it and its like it had no compression. so after cranking for a while it finally started. dont know what the hell happend but maybe you should try it .

 

have u had any problem since? did u try and clutch start it at all?

 

i drove it around the block and turned it off and it fired right back up with no problem everything seems to be in working order now.

 

What do you think cause the problem?

 

i have no idea.think it got flooded.

 

but i dont think my engine is even turning over :S

 

how can u check u have a flooded engine?

 

you dont. mine sounded like it wasnt even turning over but it wasnt making **** compression. just turn the key and keep the starter going and keep giving full throttle for a like 4 seconds and let off do this over and over and you should hear it start to crank over a little

 

ahh k ill try this after work today. hopefully its something simple like that. Is there ways to stop it flooding?

 

umm. drive it. howmany miles are on your engine?

 

If your engine is not turning but you hear your starter going, then that's the starter plunger that is not engaging. As referred in the Hayne's manual. You need a new starter.
