And hope it doesn't trigger the "hold" light to flash...if it's an atx. Mine starts flashing if I look at the dash sideways!
I dont knwo what the problem could be. About 6 months ago we got a replacement fuel tank as there was ac rack in our old one.
I also just posted anotehr question asking why oil would be pooling on top of the engine near the spark plugs...any help on either problem would be much appreciated!

have something to with it?
I have a Mazda 99 ES and the car will not start. It will crank but not fire. My dad placed a working fuel pump and now it will not pump fuel, we have the green relay at the EGI. It was getting a spark the other day, but now nothing. There was an after market security alarm connected but that was removed. The picture I am showing is a ground wire that was connected to the wall and we are not sure what other part. Would this ground wire have something to do with the car not starting? Thank you for everyone for helping me.
Thanks
1. according to haynes to test cam position sensor remove distributor and backprobe wires to check for an a/c voltage, every time I rotated rotor arm engine cooling fan came on.
2.The 2 actuators mounted on manifold are supposed to move as throttle is operated,but 1 of them(1 furthest from throttle body was actuating as soon as engine starts.
Bought car privately-used; first problem we noticed with car was interior light seemed to not work-replaced bulb, worked about 3 days then went off again-bulb did not blow-a few days later light started working just fine and have had no problems with it since (in checking the ROOM fuse I noticed that this fuse controls that light also). A week ago temps at night got into the 20's, next morning car had a hard time starting but it did start and had no problems for a few days. The last couple of days it's been a bit hard to start and yesterday my wife was leaving work, it did not want to start-she pushed gas to make sure it was getting fuel-could smell it too. It finely started for her, very roughly but after a couple of minutes it evened out and gas smell went away.
the belt has squealed when starting since almost the beginning of having it, but belt seems to be fine. Did have a mechanic check out the car before buying it--mechanics only, not electrical and everything checked out at the time.
Does this sound like a timing chain problem, ignition or what?? don't have the cash to have it tested on the computer or to have it towed to a shop to begin with.. Hoping to be able to fix it at home. :confuse:

good luck.
First never use starting fluid under any circumstances it drys out the heads and cylinders, after awhile the engine becomes dependent on it to start.
Cheapest option now check how much amps starter is pulling.
If starter does not even click need to see if it is getting power to it.
Other then that I hate to say this but using so much starting fluid you more than likley locked the engine up.
