Hey guys im new to this site, rotories, and mazda. Im not new to cars i got a 86 rx-7 n/a by trading my 89 Honda crx turbo. any ways have some questions for you all i really dont know were to start with this car it being completely new to me and everything. it does not run and i think it is spark related. im not getting spark from my leading or trailing coils when i goto start the car. on another website i frequent (homemadeturbo.com) i was told maybe the air flow meter was bad. well today i went out and tested it for resistance like the factory manual stated. everything check out within specs. what im really wondering is there any common problems for this year mazda to cause it to not to spark, and maybe is the airflow meter bad even though it checked out durring my tests. any help will be greatly appreciated

nice looking, im glad you got id of that honda. as far as your starting issue goes im going to attach a pic of the wiring diagram, the coils are feed from your battery which feeds from your battery to a black box with big fuses in it its about 5 inches long and it will have writing on it i would check there, after the 12 volts leaves the fuse it goes through the main relay and then to the coil. you also get signal from the ignition.

i would also go to the 2nd gen section to get somemore insite on this as the only experence that i have on 2nd gens is from swap and 88 motor in to my 1st gen
