i see that more often from cold weather, but, here goes. its prolly flooded. rotary engines, and more severely the renesis, have issues with flooding. the spark plugs will get carbon buildup and not spark. if he did real short driving where the car didnt warm up he might have flooded it. it only happens to cars whos owners let the plugs foul out so dont anyone give me crap on blah blah blah blah....
i cant walk u thru the deflooding process online bc i get them running based on feel...i just kno when its about to fire up.
best i can tell u over internet is to STOP CRANKING it. ur only bringing in more fuel and ur hosing down the apex seals and rinsing off any oil that used to be on them to promote good sealing for startup. if the car has had the 4206f recall performed then his trailin plugs wont fire during cranking anyway, which is were ur pop might see no spark....they arent sparking on purpose.
id love to go out and get it runnin myself but have no clue where u live. tow it to a mazda dealer, if u can, tow it to reedman toll mazda, which is the dealer i work for. i can have it running in 30 mins if its flooded.
cranking it with the gas pedal depressed will deactivate the fuel pump and allow the rotors to spin and eventually push out the fuel. that wont help the plugs but itll get out the junk in it. removing the plugs and doing this crankin procedure will get the fuel out thru the plug holes. all of this is stuff u cant really do on the driveway so just have it toqwed.
more than likely its just flooded and the water washing (which was dumb to do anyway) prolly wasnt the prob.
my comp has beebn meesed up and i cant sign on so im having trouble read up on this so i hope u listen to me and have it towed to a MAZDA DEALER.
most MOchaniks wont have a damn clue what the hell is wrong with it. they will try to sell u valve cover gaskets and a timing belt....just walk away!!!
please call my cell or somethin...good luck
