2000 Mazda MPV My check engine light has come on and it won't start. I have checked the fuses, any ideas?

Check your ignition coil

If you have an alarm system it may be faulty, and cutting off power to prevent theft. Also; check neutral safety switch, and if service engine light is on then check for codes.

check the fuses . the box is under the steering column left side check the one which indicates turn signal

cheak for the theromsate switch ,might be not working

Idle Charge Actuator Mechanical malfunction. May have a bad O2 sensor or actuator.

I think it may be an electrical issue but I think it's just a fuse. There are 2 fuses I would check. One of them is a 15 amp fuse inside the fuse panel inside the vehicle (see fuse layout below) and the other is a 40 amp fuse in the fuse panel under the hood of the vehicle in the engine compartment (see other picture below). I marked the fuses to check and hope this is the problem.

possible, i would check fuses first. if good, check power at switches,if good check power at window motors, if good then it would be the cable or gear mechanism. All you need is a test light and you will search and conquer your quest.

Yes Lloyd, so long as the battery cable is disconnected the light will stay off. However it will be hard to start the car without a battery so this is a fix only if the vehicle is to be a museum piece.

You may want to have the car checked and find out what problem is causing the light to come on and get that problem fixed. For when you hook the battery back up that light will come on again.

YOU HAVE TO SEE WHAT TROUBLE CODE YOUR PCM IS TRYING TO GIVE YOU.GO TO ANY AUTO ZONE THEY WILL DO IT FREE.CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT GOING TO TURN OFF UNTIL YOU FIX THE PROBLEM.

try to adjust the iddle speed screw, tighten it clockwise
