Bad fuel pump? I know that would have no affect on the plugs, but would have an affect on starting.

It's getting plenty of fuel, because when it DOES fire off, it smells STRONG like gas. Maybe try and run some seafoam through the fuel rail? I'm getting desperate here.

How's your plug wires? Cap & rotor? Maybe the coil's going. What plugs you running?
Sounds like ignition problem to me. Just my $.02

Plug wires could probably use changing, but they are in the right order, 1342, the cap and rotor are good, I've taken the rotor itself off and tried it in all 3 positions, with the disty all the way adv and all the way retard, and even in the middle, no dice. I'm running NGK-R plugs.

I wish someone on here lived closer to Corinth MS, that would be awesome. Then someone else can give the car a blank expression.

I have another Disty I could try, if y'all think it would help at all. I noticed my head looked like it was decked uneven, so If thats the case, then I'm taking the head back and getting them to fix whatever else ****ed up.

when i first got mine running it was doing the same thing it turned out to be the injector o-rings to the fuel rail and it smelt like gas strong.. just a thought

**Lord_Vader** · 03-10-2011, 05:28 PM

Yeah I didn't change mine, that would make sense if it was like a vac leak or something. It's worth a shot! How much are they online usually?

**cody** · 03-10-2011, 05:35 PM

i bought them from the mazda dealer for 2$ each plus tax

**Lord_Vader** · 03-10-2011, 05:55 PM

The upper and lower? Sad thing is: We don't have a mazda dealership here in town, I'd have to drive about 45 min out of town to get to one. Autozone doesn't have them as a kit, Oreilly does, but it won't be here til sat. Tried calling advance auto, but they put me on hold for 20 min, so I hung up.

**cody** · 03-10-2011, 05:58 PM

i only bought the top one that goes into the fuel rail the other ones were good when i went to the ford dealer to get them they said they were discontinued and they couldnt get them so i went to the mazda and they had over 200 in stock

**Lord_Vader** · 03-10-2011, 06:14 PM

Ok, well Advance has them in stock for 3.49 for a set of them. May just get those, and try again. Whats a good way to clean injectors?

**cody** · 03-10-2011, 06:23 PM

soak them in carb cleaner ? i have no idea ive never cleaned any but if i were u once u get ur new injectors flip the fuel rail over so the injectors are pointing in the air and turn it over make sure they all spray i had 3 of mine that werent spraying so i had to replace them

**Lord_Vader** · 03-10-2011, 06:42 PM

Hmm.... I may have to try that, except without getting sprayed in the face....

**cody** · 03-10-2011, 06:44 PM

u be the one turning it over and have someone else get sprayed in the face lol
