try pulling the fuse for the fuel pump, and making sure its unflooded, and then put new (or cleaned) plugs in to see what that does.

What struhall is saying about the fuses is that you pull the EGI fuse and crank the car over to clear the excess fuels out. Also pull the plugs and if they are coated in fuel you need to clean them off. Wet plugs will make the car not start. So, in short, pull EGI, turn car over for a few seconds, then the plugs and clean them off. Put plugs and EGI fuse back in and try to start car again.

Yeah, that's pretty much been common knowledge for a while now. The difference is the ownership is really just ownership of one of their national divisions (U.S.) and most, if not half, of the Mazda cars are still assembled in Japan. Which is probably why you still see such a huge gap between Mazda and Ford in that Factory reliability rating or whatever that thing that Consumer Reports does annually for the lastest cars and car manufacturers.

It is the first junk yard you come too when you turn left off main street in lewsiville onto 121. Might take 5-10mins to get to it. I have the card in my car I will get it later on and post the number so you can call them
