Starting Problem

[93mazdamx6]

My 1993 Mazda MX6 Has a starting problem. when i turn it over it cranks but it is just not getting the fire that it needs to start up. i dont have a clue as to of what the problem might be. so if you have any idea could you help me out.

its your distributor, mine did the same thing. i also own a 93 mx6 and mine died as i wass pulling out of my driveway but go to any speed shop and its about 200 to do it yourself or like 375 for a mazda dealor to do it

Check out Probe .com on the maintenace forum for 2nd gen 2.5 you will find a sticky for the $20 distributor fix ts simple takes about twenty minuites and max $30 in parts if you buy new HEI
You replace the defective Ignitor in the distributor with an external HEI and you will never have the problem recur if you buy a rebuilt distibutor they will have the same problem due to a weak heat sensitive resistor in the ignitor .
Good luck
