I just bought a 04 mazda rx8. It won't start at all just crank, it has spark to the four plugs. I was told there are recalls on this car. Since the car is so old would recalls still be in effect?

Asked by Jericokid1 Oct 10, 2016 at 02:37 PM about the 2004 Mazda RX-8 RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I love the car i just bought but have never heard it run. I bought it as is. I was
recently told that the 04 rx8 has major engine problems. I own the car now so
I need to get it running. Can I take it to a Mazda dealership and see if the
problem is related to why they recalled it. I cannot afford get it repaired so I
have to try and do it myself. I would appreciate any information someone
could give me. I thank you so much for reading this.

Thank you very much for your time and answering the question. All I can aford to do to it is to just keep looking on the net and maybe YouTube and prayfully find places that might show me how to check things on it. I put oil in it and now besides not being able to start it, it is leaking oil from somewhere but it was just low but not empty. All I guess I can do is pray and search, cannot aford to buy another car. Thank you again for the information and the time you spent giving it to me.
