FD from hell

I thought the recall was on the fuel lines for those model/year cars. Either way, they were taken care of before the fire.

check out recall #22 it states the cooling/coolant issue.

26 is the fuel lines... that's a lot of fire issues in one car... i didn't think it was both.

I t sounds like your pulsation dampner went on the fuel rail. Make sure you replaced it it is what caused the fire.

Dealership will not cover that.

Tip - Join Mazdaspeed and tell them you plan on racing it in SoloII. You can get parts for 1/2 to 1/3 the price a mechanic could get parts for at the dealership.

Once you have established the fuel rails are air tight and not leaking. Try push starting it (assuming its a manual) have someone tow you around with it in gear. Use a long tow cable.

you might have to get that engine that has been sitting for 2 years spinning pretty fast to loosen things up and get her to build some compression and fire.

Also pull one spark plug from each rotor housing (i.e. both tops or both bottoms) and squirt some Magic Marvel Mystery oil in each housing. Let it site for a few hours and try to start it.

Good luck...

Recall #26 means take it in and get it serviced before it catches on fire.
Not after.

He could however get the pulsatin dapeners looked at and replaced for free if they are leaking under that recall.

Thanks for all the tips so far.
