That is one looonnnnnnggggggg sentence.

I've never heard of a ECU going out (at least, not for 3rd gens).

 

I didn't understand a damn thing you said. Can you explain what your problem is more specifically? I doubt it's an ECU issue though, maybe ignition related?

 

i've seen ecu's that dont work and basically it will just keep turning the motor with nothing happening. if your lazy try getting a friends ecu and trying his out and if the problem still exists, then check out your ignition.

 

it might be your clutch switch. You should check that first, even mazda diller have them and they are fairly cheap.
