If you have the 2004 model of the RX8 this could be due to the starter motor,
Mazda themselves have noticed this problem and have created an upgraded starter motor on the RX8 but this dose come at a cost, Hope this helps
Spark plugs not producing enough spark. Battery doesn't have enough charge. Old fuel.
A low or dead battery will have this effect. There is enough juice in the battery to activate the solenoid in the starter (causing the clicking sound), but not enough to turn over the engine. A jump start or a replacement battery may be needed if the battery is no longer capable of holding enough of a charge even when being jumped.
Yes, a loose battery cable will prevent the alternator from charging the battery. The drain on the battery is not caused by the engine not running unless an accessory is left on. Most likely, the drain is caused by accessories (radio, lights, etc) while the engine is running due to the battery not receiving its charge from the alternator and then not having enough charge left to start the engine.
Yes, you can start diesel engine even if you don't have battery in!
Yes, the battery starts the engine, and as long as the battery is fully charged the engine will start. The battery will loose it's charge if the alternator is defective and not replenishing the charge of the battery but the alternator has nothing to do with starting the engine.
Try a new battery, or get a jump start. Sometimes there is not enough power in the battery to start the engine.

You have enough battery power to power the radio, but not enough to turn over your engine. CHeck battery.
It will start if there is enough charge in the battery to turn the engine over. However if the alternator is weak then the battery will not be charged fully.
Yes, but there may not be enough power to start the engine.
Check your charge in your battery. Just because all things turn on does not mean your battery has enough power to start the engine. Charge your battery or get a jump start.
It could be that the battery is not fully charged or that the battery is incapable of holding a full charge, or that the starter is faulty or that you've just been trying to start the engine for a long time and ran the battery down. Understand that a battery is just an electrical storage device. It only STORES electrical power for use NEXT time you want to start the engine. * If the battery is not fully charged (it didn't get enough electrical energy put back last time it was used), it may not have enough electrical energy to start the engine. * If the battery is going bad, it may not have enough electrical energy to start the engine. * If the starter is going bad, it may pull more energy from the battery than it can provide.
Battery has enough to turn the engine but not enough to provide spark at the same time. Confirm by jump starting.
battery is low. get a boost or charge the battery.
It sounds like a bad cable connection at the battery/starter solenoid/ or the starter solenoid is bad. Check these areas. It could still be the battery. Check the voltage at the battery then try to start the engine. If the voltage drops below about 10 or 11 volts, the battery does not have enough of a charge. Try a battery charger for a while and see if you can get enough of a charge to start the engine. If the voltage is up when you try to start the engine, check the battery post connections. See if you have voltage THERE when you try to start it. Sometimes a corroded battery terminal will act the way you described. If that isn't it, check the connections to the starter. If you have good voltage to the starter when you try to start it, the starter is probably bad.
The starter on a car requires a lot of electrical current to rotate the engine fast enough for it to start. When the car's battery doesn't have enough electricity to do this a battery from another car or another source of electrical current can be supplied (jumpered) to the car to "jump start" it.
If the engine is cranking over fast(starter and battery ok) and it just won't start, it could be alot of things If the engine is cranking slowly, it could be the starter, the battery, or the alternator(not charging the battery) check your cables from the battery to the engine and the body... good luck d
