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.

Might be prudent to clean all of your electrical connections and maybe beef up your ground wires as well. Just a thought..
