What the F@$^%& is wrong with my car?

The plugs are new in the FC. I replaced them along with the coils, wires and the battery. I have even done the unflood procedure on it.
As for the 8. If its the grounds I cant tell, I dont know what to look for and noone else is willing to take the time to look at the car for me. Someone mentioned the computer which reminded me that when I took the car to Mazda last time to have them look at my starter, they updated my computer which threw it all of wack and p!$$@* me off. Shortly after that my door remote went out I have tried several times to reset the code and it wont set and now this has happened. I dont know if Mazda messed up the computer when they updated it or what but I know they wont take the blame either way so Im screwed.
I think at this point Im going to have the 8 towed to Mazda to see whats wrong with it. As much as I hate to do that even my friend who owns a shop that specializes in rotaries has no clue whats going on. As for the 7 it will just have to wait, it is just for fun and with a kid on the way I need the 8 running more than the 7.
