Power windows. Interior is definitely in driver condition. I'll get pics tomorrow.

Ok chief, be that way. I was simply giving people the opportunity to get dirt-cheap parts off my soon-to-be scrapped car so that they could keep theirs on the road. Sorry I haven't been as active as you, though I have offered what knowledge I do have. Guess I have better things to do than beat my d-...

1993 MX-3 with 1.6 4-cyl and 5-spd. Car ran great up until a couple months ago when I found it to be low on compression in a couple cylinders and not worth repair. New parts: Windshield last year, Distributor which was installed but never ran with, alternator with roughly 2 months use, radiator with...

I have a 1993 MX-3 that I just took in a couple months ago to a Mazda dealer and they replaced the drivers side assembly at no charge. They were also going to replace the passenger side, but I didn't really need it as I just drove it to/from work by myself.

Yeah, after seeing those numbers last night, I wonder if it's even worth fixing since it's on its way out...poor thing.

Sorry for the confusion, it's a 1993. I'll try to get out to where it died on me tomorrow and see what I can find out by doing what you suggested. I will note that the injectors were pulsing as I cranked the engine over.

Everything recommended checked out. Got the money for a compression gauge since I couldn't find mine. Starting at #1it was; 140-140-90-120

So back to the original question, wouldn't it run even if that's bad? Sorry for the delay in responses, my grandmother had a stroke.

Do you mean the MAF? If so, I didn't think that would keep it from running but instead would make it run poorly...? How am I to test it since it won't start?

Need some insight! Closing in fast on winter and this is my snowmobile! (Truck hates snow)

Ok, distributor is good. I have spark too. The car still won't start even with the help of starting fluid. Ideas?

It's a 1993 with the 1.6. It sounded fine when it ran. I replaced the distributor about 2 years ago for a similar problem. Haven't checked spark yet.

Came out of work the other night to start my car and it cranked hard but refused to start. Today it started butit ran rough for a second and ran fine at idle and revs. Turned off then wouldnt start again, jumped gnd / fp and heard the pump activate. Not sure what the deal is. Ideas?

Yeah, still not real sure why other than lack of power.

Not real sure where to start. I don't do electrical stuff very well.
