The following is what I've done so far, please tell me if it makes sense:
(From FSM test outlines- Quoted by BuGs)
-checked for continuity from ECU 2E to W (at distributor) = There is contiuity.
-checked for good voltage (0-5 Volts) at terminal 2E and 2G (At ECU) with ignition ON = Using a Multimeter there is about 11.5 Volts at both at 2E and 2G.
Today I ordered an ECU from Hollywood at 842 Eastern Ave. (Toronto), to replace my ECU.
I also got an IGNITER from a Mazda Protege from a Junk Yard for $6.00 to see if mine was the cause for the car not starting (and no spark at ignition coil). I put it in and still there is no spark at IGNITION COIL! So can't be IGNITER.
FYI- I checked the ignition coil for correct primary and secondary resistance which were correct according to Chilton's Manual. I have voltage and ground at IGNITER and IGNITION coil terminals (with ignition ON).
I highly doubt it's the Distributor because the previous owner changed it in SEP. '04.
Any advice on this is greatly appreciated.
Note: In the last 1 month I have pushed started the car more than 5 times in one week, and then it just didn't start using this method --- after that it just ran for 2 seconds then shut off. Then Starter went bad, it was replaced, and then it didn't start again.
Thanks in advance.
