okay so here is a teaser for you guys.....the engine is turning, but won't start. i am not throwing any codes, and i have replaced my coil already....becasue i'm not getting any spark. i am done playing weekend mechanic, and want to take it to a reliable mechanic. soooo i guess my real question is does anyone know of a reliable rotary guy in DE? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/unsure.png yeah i know it's DE https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif but i am going to kill myself if i can't get it on the road soon....i'm even thinking of breaking down and taking it to the local MAZDA DEALER. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif

Have you checked your fuses? although it may sound stupid, you may not be sending power to one of the ocmponents needed for a spark signal.

yep all my fuses are fine, unless i missed some which is a possibility.

check for 12v positive to the coils, and check for a 12 ground "flash" of the testlight as you crank it. if you don't have both the coils won't fire. no positive voltage is a bad wire/fuse/relay. no negative "flash" could be broken wire/bad ignitor/bad ecu/bad crank angle sensor

I live in Delaware, you could take it to the Mazda on rt.13 they are pretty reliable i've heard....Or me and a few other people could probally take a look at it.

Did you make sure you grounded the coil pack when you installed it?

i used a factory replacement coil. i'm going to just take it into the mazda dealer on 13, but i really am grateful for all the help. you live up in newark scrub?

I live near prices corner, a couple of my good friends live in Newark and I am up there a lot. My car is silver. I am usually with a Montego FD, what color is your car?

dude,

Mine cranks, but won't start either. I do have spark and fuel, but it won't run on its own for some reason(s) I have yet to discover.

red with chrome BBS rims. i live in dover but car is stored in magnolia. we're gonna have to meet up some time when i get it running.
