Thumbs up New problem

Yet another problem with my car. The car has been driving fine and two days ago I went to start the car and she would not start. I did not hear the fuel pump charging up so I thought the fuel pump went bad. I took out the fuel pump and replaced it with the stock unit. The car fired right up. I went to leave the girlfriends house that night and the car would not start again. I bought new coil packs, did not work. I am at a lost on what to do. Any ideas?

A friend that works at the Mazda dealership...hehe. Now I am being told it might be my crank sensor and I have no way to getting to that. The turbo is in the way for sure.

Is your fuel pump still turning on?

I would check for spark.

Is it trying to catch when you are turning the engine over or not?

I was stranded when my camshaft position sensor went out, it's another possibility. It took the dealership an hour to diagnose and fix the problem and it cost me a total of $135 for parts and labor.

Yes. I can hear the fuel pump charging up. Good news. Just minutes before the tow truck pulled up my car started right up. WTF.... I really have no idea on what the hell is going on now. But I was told by others that it sounds like the crank sensor might be bad. Or cam sensor as noted above post. The car drove fine all night. When I get home in the morning from work I shall try to start and see what happens. Why would the car start after crank or cam sensor going bad and no cel light? Where are they located?

I had a check engine light come on today. I went to Advanced and checked the light and these are the codes......

P0650 MIL control circuit malfunction
P0036 Ho2s Bank 1 Sen 2 heater circuit
P0303, P0302, P0300 Misfires I know.=(

Any ideas on the first two codes?

P0650 sounds like oddly enough the ECU had trouble with weird voltage coming back to the ECU from the CEL.

P0036 indicates that the heater inside your after cat O2 sensor is not working properly.
