1989 MAZDA MPV NO CRANK NO START STARTER TESTS GOOD.
STARTER TESTED GOOD 10 TIMES. TURNING KEY GETS NOTHING. NOT EVEN A CLICK UNDER HOOD. AFTER A DAY OR SO IT STARTS FINE. THEN NO START AGAIN AFTER A DAY OR LESS.

Assuming you've checked the battery for a possible short and both the battery and the starter for loose connections, no click sounds like a faulty starter solonoid, which could work intermittently.

not a starter problem
could be a problem immobilizer or a flat battery in the key fob
That will not show up in a code check
always run the fault codes before you waste money replacing what is good
there has to be a reason for it not starting and the immobilizer is a good place to test
Where's the clicking noise coming from ? Under the dash , under the hood in the engine compartment ? Do starter circuit voltage drop test ! When the key is in start position is there constant B+ voltage at the 10 amp crank fuse in the under hood fuse box ? This is an input to the PCM - engine computer to energize the starter relay ! Starter Voltage Drop The battery is good , starter is new ,what about the cables ? watch this video on testing starter circuit !
You need to find someone who knows how to test the electrical circuits , check the battery , battery connections ! Do the headlamps light ? or they bright ? Does the dash light up when you turn the key on ? Without testing we would only be guessing , could be a lot of different thing's .The clicking sound is probably the starter relay . The starter could be bad , wiring problems , main battery feed cable to the starter . Testing is the only way of finding what's wrong, not guessing . Starter Voltage Drop
Looking at a wiring diagram to see what all is involved for the starter to work . Free wiring diagrams here http://www.bbbind.com/free_tsb.html Enter vehicle info. Year , make , model an engine size . Under system click on engine ,then under subsystem click on starting . Click search button . then blue link . Does the vehicle have manual or automatic transmission ?
Do you know what a relay is and how it works ?
In this video he shows horn relay but the starter relay works the same way . Starter relay located in the under hood fuse box . VEHICLE RELAYS Operation Diagnosis
Learning how it works then learning how to test electrical circuits is how we fix automotive electrical problems , not guessing an replacings parts .
So you know the fuel pump would have nothing to do with the plugs getting spark, right ? You said the coil tested good, is it getting voltage from the key switch and a ground signal from the distributor ?
More than likely the starter solenoid has burnt contacts in it, this is a common problem with all Denso designed starter motors used in almost all Japanese cars and light trucks. You can either try and find a solenoid or just replace the starter. The solenoid can be repaired if you can find the contact kit for it, most are available on line for about $20, just google it.
Take the battery somewhere to have it tested AFTER you do this: Use jumper cables to try and start your car. I had the same indications as you and it turned out my battery would not provide the amps (the real power in a battery) to start it.
If the car start when jumped, you need a new battery. There is a difference between starting and turning over. The familiar whrrwhrr whrr of an engine trying to start means something all together different.
Turn off ALL accessories when starting during a jump (AC, Radio, DVD players, GPs cigarettelighter plugs, lights)
yes it could be the starter next time it won't start give the starter motor a tap with a hammer or wheel brace also check where the small blade connector is there should be a fuse in line could be the problem hope this helps regards Jim
