My brother rx8 is having trouble starting it. After about 4 sec it will start up and the engine light well start blinking and the car is having lots of trouble staying on. After shutting it off we have a strong fuel odor. My dad and i found something in the throttle but im not sure if its that! Ok is your throttle suppose to open up when turning on your car? Cuz when we took a look and tried to fire it up the throttle didn't open. Seems like the engine isnt getting any airflow through because i dont see any fumes coming out of my exhaust all i see is a blue smoke with strong fuel odor. Im just learning on mechanics! Any suggestions in if it might be my throttle or something else. Thank You
