mazda 323 no spark

It sounds like you need to have the pick-up and ignighter checked out on yor car. If there is no spark, it is probably the distributo that has gone faulty.

check your local Mazda Dealer..

[quote:d3367e3eed="mazda323"]hi my name is tim, i have a 1989 mazda 323 hatchback 1.6 sohc, 5 speed manual, it has 126,xxx miles. i was driving down the street one day and i was at red light and my car just died, i checked the battery teminals, made sure all the spark plug wires were secure. i also checked the wires at the distriutor end and there was blue corrosion, so i bought new spark plug wires and it still wont start. i know its not getting spark because i took a spark plug wire and put a spark plug in it and grounded it and tryed to start it and no spark. my cap and rotor are brand new, i think it might have to do with my coil or some thing, if you could help me out that would be great....Thanks.[/quote:d3367e3eed]

Could be the coil check its primary and secondary resistances and to include power at the pos. terminal of the coil while key is in On position- could also be one of those that Mr. Cosmo mentioned.
