Well as of yeasterday the disty works and still the car didn't start so I called in a favour from a the technicans over at Mazda and sent my car there for a week while I'm on Vacation. Hopfully they can figure out my problem so I can fix it. I'll be away for a week so I'll let you guys know what happens then. Thanks for all the suggestions, and help!

Well I've kept you in suspense long enough. I went in to work today after being off for a week on vacation and my car was back from Mazda and sitting in the shop. So I thought yeah, my car is fixed, my boss took one look at me, lowered his head and I said "what's wrong", he said "Trev it still doesnt work", I said "what do you mean, have we figured anything out?". Then he told me that a wire inside the dash running from the ECU to the distributor had shorted out so I didnt even bother trying to start it, we pushed it out of the shop for the day and began to work on customers cars. Little did I know this was my bosses idea of fun!!!! Half way through the day he sent me on a bank run, I asked him if there were any cars that needed to be taken on a test drive because the shop car was blocked in, thats when he said "why dont you take that white mazda out there" (meaning my car). I looked at him with a questionable look and said "but it doesnt run, you told me it doesnt work" He then looked at me with a smile and said it's the only thing that runs and the can be pulled out! So I grabed my keys ran out and sure enough IT STARTED UP!!! The problem was a wire that had shorted out under the dash and Mazda Fixed it while I was away!
