A 1994 Mazda 323 SOHC 1.6L was working just fine, sat outside for 10 months during some cold weather and will not start, starter cranks but not even a single cough out of the engine!
Here are some important points, please read them so you know what I've already checked.
-it has been sitting in a warm, dry shop for a week now
-has new battery
-made sure I have fresh fuel coming to the injection manifold
-fuel pump seems fine, can disconnect line at inject. manifold, crank starter and watch fuel pee out
-all fuses good
-spark plugs are all decent
-all wires between ignition coil and spark plugs are fine
-with plug out can see puffs of fuel coming out of the whole where the spark plug came from
-tried with air intake wide open at engine
-at first intermittent, weak sparks at plugs
1. replaced distributor cap
2. cleaned up distributor rotor
3. replaced ignition coil
-after that getting regular, decent sparks at plugs
but still, no combustion!
Any ideas? Thanks!
