Difficult To Start Or Will Not Start
- Check battery condition.
- Check condition of spark plugs.
- Ensure fuel system pressure is correct.
- Check Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) main fuse located in fuse box (if equipped).
- Ensure inertia switch circuit is not open (Navajo).
- Verify crank angle sensor has correct resistance values (B2300, B4000, MX-3 1.8L, MX-6 and 626 2.5L, Navajo, RX7 and 929).
- Verify optical sensor is working (Miata, Protege and 323).
- Check coolant temperature sensor resistance.
- Verify Hall-Effect sensor is working (MX-3, MX-6, 626 and 929).
- Check for leaky fuel injectors or pressure regulator causing warm-engine no start.
- Check fuel pump relay operation. A click should be heard from relay as ignition switch is cycled on and off.
- Check distributor pick-up coil resistance (if equipped).
- Ensure pressure regulator control system is okay.
- Check air intake system for restriction.
- Check EGR valve and solenoid for correct operation.
- Check for cracks and poor connections at airflow meter or throttle body.
- Check ignition coil resistance.
