1997 Mazda Millenia won't fire ...help please !!

[bigdreynolds]

This is what the distributer looks like ....ugly little burger lol!
take off rotor , then dust cap and there is the ignition module , then under that is the coil .

Sucks that it's not serviceable. I don't know you financial situation but I'd get a new one. They can't be more than $100 give or take.


Sent from my overly sofisticated electronic device.

Over $400 at the parts store $170 online.

I don't understand the "unserviceable" part ......If I can take it apart than it IS servicable
It didnt even take any specal tools to take it apart . Just a phillips screwdriver.

I'm just not positive that it's bad ......that's the problem , I feel like I'm missing something simple .

I looked at prices on rockauto.com

I'll ask on the other forum now . I tried themazdaforum and mazdaworld with no answers , well I got one "battery" then I thought I would try here ....I've got more help here than on Mazda forums !! And we are a truck forum !
I can see who the REAL "car" guys are !

Just curious but did you do a continuity test to the fuses. Some times they can look good but still be bad. I have seen it happen.

I checked them with a voltage tester . Grounded then checked each side of fuse.

Check any wires going to the oil pressure sensor(switch)and make sure they're good.My burb quit one day and after replacing a bunch of parts I found(from the 'net)that if the ECM sees no oil pressure it won't let the thing start.....got to looking and found a wire had laid across the exhaust manifold and grounded out......just an idea

Not sure if your Mazda's oil pressure sensor works the same.

Worth looking into !! At this point I'll try anything .

If this happened after jump starting the car, it is very likely a blown ignition relay. I am not sure how to test them, but I would replace it first if it were me.
