I have a 1994 mazda miata. It was not getting fuel so I changed the fuel pump. Still no fuel. Changed fuel pump relay. Still nothing. A friend told me it could be the ground wire to the computer, so I grounded the fuel pump relay to the frame and it worked. The car ran fine. I turned it off for a hour or so and it would not start back. I took the fuel line off to see if it was getting gas and it was. So I checked cylinders to see if they were getting any spark. And cylinders 1 & 4 were getting fire but 2 and 3 were not. So is it the coil pack, the computer (ECU)or something else? Please HELP!

 

Translated for clarity.
Hello gentlemen. I have not made an intro post, but my name is Todd, and I apparently have a miata. It is a 1994 and was not getting fuel or something.
I replaced the fuel pump and still did not get fuel? I then changed the fuel pump relay, and still no gas.

Is the coil pack bad, or could it possibly be the ECU? Perhaps it is something else entirely. Please help.

 

Monk: thanks for the Clarity Translation. (?)


Looks like some scientific process of elimination is needed to rule out the coil pack, ignition driver, wires, and plugs are good....or bad.

 

**** I am taking my 1994 miata to a mechanic ( I tried to figure it out myself but getting to expensive so $30-$60 for mechanic) to be hooked up to the computer. Will let you know the outcome.
