Fire
So yea just like the title reads that caught fire the other day when I pulled the FC out the garage to work on it some more. I am having trouble identifying the part I'm sure it's a sensor but not entirely sure which one I we t through the Haynes manual but couldn't find anything. I think it's the crank angle sensor, or the oil pressure sensor. if anyone has insight would appreciate it thanks.

Hopefully you don't need to go for emissions where you live, I'd just yank the garbage off and block off all the emissions ports, lock your 5th/6th ports open and also get rid of the bullshit coolant lines running everywhere to the throttle body and BAC valve. If you still have power steering, AC, or sound system just set your idle up 150-200rpm to compensate, and you may have to hold the throttle open for the first 20 seconds or so to keep it from dying. That should take care of future problems involving failures of hoses that could burst during operation.
Mazda likes to over complicate things...
Concerning why you had a fire, pull the intakes and check you OMP lines and the fuel hoses, injector o-rings, and you may as well go down to the parts store and grab a few feet of fuel injection hose, new clamps, and replace it all. After 25 years of heat cycles, the rubber isn't in the best of shape.
