Help... My car died.
So I put a new battery on the mazda and tried to crank it up and it didnt act like it wanted to start. On the second try it cranked up and shot quite a bit of smoke out of the tail pipes for about 5 seconds. So I let it idle for a minute and then took it down the street, I drove maybe a quarter mile and the shift light came on at 3000 rpms and then it died on me.
Now it wont start at all.
Anybody have any idea whats going on?

Check the 15 amp Engine fuse in the interior fuse box.
EDIT: You could tell if the Engine fuse is blown if the Main relay doesn't click w/key to on, the Black/Yellow wire at the coils don't have power w/key to on or if the Black/White wire at any of the emission solenoids don't have power w/key to on.

The 15 amp engine fuse is good.
I tried to start it again and it turns over, but the engine wont crank up. It did start for about half a second before the rpms went back to zero...
Ill try to push start it later today when I can get some help.

Alright guys,
Just tried to push start it without success. It didnt seem like it was even close to starting.
Does this already indicate a fuel problem or should I still try the starter fluid thing? (dont have any handy at the moment)
What do yall think?
I hope she can be brought back to life

Ok,
Just got some starter fluid and sprayed some in the intact duct and forgot to disconnect the fuel pump harness.
Tried to crank it up and it cranked right up.
Then it didn't die.
I let it idle for about 5 minutes then I drove it to a closer parking spot to my apt.
So what do yall think about this?
Thanks for the help guys!
