A friend of mine needs a little help getting her son's RX8 to fire. AMG says it's probably just flooded but, she could use a hand getting plugs out, cleaned and getting it started.
All of her "boys" (husband and son) are deployed in Afganastan and Iraq. Anyone in the Killeen area on the board here willing to help? |

My brother's in the area (1st Cav, 2-8, Ft. Hood) though he's not mechanically savvy. I'll hit him up and see if someone else in his unit is avail to go look though if nobody else has stepped up.

Super common problem on the RX8. If you start them but don't warm them up, they will do that a lot. Just hold down the Acc pedal to the floor, crank for about a minute, let it sit for 1/2 hour and it will fire right up.

Thanks Mike and Jeff (and Rick for the bump). We'll report back tomorrow. She's going to try it in the morning.
