Angry Not starting after a service. any ideas?

I have just serviced my rx7. Now it wont start. I started it up to warm the oil and it started fine. Once the service was done it wont start. It turns over fine but just wont fire. Im hoping its something obvious. Can anyone help. Thanks

What was done at the service? at the dealership?
When you say started it up to warm the oil, how long did you warm up the car for? Possibly flooded the engine.

ummm no puddles of gasoline on the floor I imagine? it may just be taking time to fillup all the lines in the system , and gas filter . and such . but it shouldnt take THAT long

make sure in the engine bay that you didnt disconnect any plugs when changing the oil filter .

Primed the fuel system after fuel filter change? Most likely flooded if it was just regular maintenance. Unless you messed up the fuel lines on the fuel filter.

I'd first try the unflooding procedure. If still no go, check fuses, spark plugs, compression, battery charge

Did you go into the PFC menu while it was down?

pull the main EGI fuse and remove the spark plugs. Turn the motor over a few times and replace the plugs/ the fuse / and crank the motor over again. It was probly flooded. If that wasn't it replace your plugs. How many miles are on the plugs since you last replaced them?

Fuel system is all ok, checked and double checked. plugs have only done 2000kilometres. it sounds like it must be flooded.

Either flooded or you messed up some wiring while doing maintenance.
Check all around where you had you hands.
