After taking a short break from the Mazda to calm down from a temper tantrum I threw last week that ended with a hundred piece timing light puzzle, I got back on it Saturday. If I recall the rage stemmed from the car still not starting after replacing the trigger wheel sensor. .

With new timing light purchased and in hand, my cousin stopped by and helped me out early Saturday, he held the unmounted sensor close to the wheel and moved it while I cranked the engine. We got it running so I added spacers based off the gap he recalled seeing between the sensor/mount. From there we took it for a test drive around town without any issue, even hot start was good. Later I met up with Jacob to start with street tuning, we put some miles on it and got it pretty close. We are at a stopping point till I complete my intake/filter assy.

Here's the big kick in the nuts! That evening during intermission of the playoff game with other rotard friends over that were equally excited to hear my car was finally running, I attempted to start it for them. . . No start!

I'm taking another break from this POS
