Mazda Repair - 94 maita not starting


Expert: Mp2 - 6/17/2009

Question
My 94 miata has always started quickly, I go out this morning and it just turns over and wont hit at all.
It wont even try and start.

Answer
Fuel is the most likely scenario.  

Under the hood on the driver's side is a diagnostics box.  Open it and refer to the legend, look for GND and F/P on the second row.  Place a  jumper connection between these two points with the key on and listen for the fuel pump relay to click (should be distinct) (it is under the dash).  If no relay sound then you have an electrical issue and we'll go from there.

If it clicks then you have a fuel flow issue which could be as immediate as a failed pump which doing a flow test would be the next course of action if you are capable and willing to perform the diagnostics and repairs yourself.

Let me know.
