Hi everyone! I have a '94 323 hatchback SOHC 1.6L It was in good condition and had lots of work done, was running fine until it sat outside for 10 months. Now the starter cranks and cranks but the enginer will not start. -I replaced the battery, lots of power now -I ran out the old fuel and got new fuel coming out of the fuel line to the injection manifold -the spark plugs and wires seem fine -with a spark plug out, puffs of aerosol fuel come out, so the injectors seem ok Sparks from the ignition coil seemed "ok" maybe weak. Checked at the spark plugs but the sparks were sporadic and barely visible, maybe 1 out of 10 would actually happen. I replaced the dist. cap and now I see a spark every time at the plugs. I think it might be that the ignition coil got damaged internally by water and ice. I checked resistance across the primary step of the ignition coil and measured only 0.001 ohms instead of the suggest approx 0.75 ohms. Do I need a new ignition coil? Is there some other problem maybe like the ignitor module? ---- DISTRIBUTOR ROTOR: I tried to get a new rotor for the distributor but I have had a HECK of a time finding the right one! I bought 2 kinds of aftermarket ones that were 80 thou too small in the female end where the shaft head from the distributor attaches to the rotor. Someone at partsource and the mazda dealership had heard of this problem before and said I needed the original park from mazda, not an aftermarket. I picked up the part from mazda, it's ALMOST big enough but still the wrong one. Two millwrights tried and both insisted it truly is not big enough and not the right one, so it's not a matter of trying harder or knowing how to put a rotor back on. Perhaps there is an aftermarket distributor on? If so, how can I find the right rotor? I can see a mitsubishi symbol on the distributor and T152 on it, there is a mitsubishi symbol on the rotor I got from the mazda dealer and again some kind of similar T### code on it. How can I get ahold of the right rotor?? the people at the dealership and at the garage seem totally confused about why it won't fit. Thanks a lot to anyone who can help me with this.

Hi Folks, Just comin home this evening the wipers on my 1995 Mazda 323 stopped working....they were going fine then they stopped moving mid cycle (i.e. in the middle of the windscreen). I'm guessing it is just a loose connection somewhere cause I can hear what sounds like the wiper motor moving against what ever connects it to the wipers themselves. Anyone experience this before? Any ideas exactly what I need to do to fix this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, PeteC2

I am trying to get my daughter's 1988 Mercury Tracer run. The engine is the same as or very similar to the '87-'88 Mazda 323. We have the repair manual for the vehicle and according to the manual, it should be running like a top. I have torn the engine apart and put it back together. No matter what I do, while the engine will crank, it won't start. When the throttle is in the idle position, the injectors do not appear to be spraying the fuel into the cylinder and I believe it should be. Has anyone else ever had this problem with an '87 or '88 Mazda 323. I could use eome usggestions on how to get the car running.

I have learned alot ab my spunky little car, but need 2 learn more. Anyway, it does have 2 problems i would like 2 take care of! the 1st problem i have is the rough idle at warmer temps, it idles perfect until i make my way down the road a few miles and cum 2 a red light... while sitting there at a dead stop it will idle really low, way lower than normal and sumtimes even die!!! My second problem is when my car uses 1/4 a tank of gas, it is as if i run out of gas, but the fuel light does not come on! I no the tank is full bc at tha gas station the gas pump stops pumping fuel when my tank is full as with any other car! I do not no the solution 4 either problem, so any help or advice would b greatly appreciated!!! Thanks! | |
