My RX7 had the same starter problem, but it turned out to be a bad connection to the solenoid.
Hope this helps.

SOURCE: Mazda 323 2002 Sting Immobilizer

Fcuk I got same problem with my Mazda 3 year 2004. Noone can help me at all !!! Even in Mazda they have no idea where is problem. For me it is at the moment only in cold weather. I cannot get throught immobilizer. After few turns it works, but not always (only when its bit warmer).

Please write me to [email protected] if you will know updates... I am desperate , cannot use my car in winter at all or cold weather. In summer works fine

SOURCE: CAR DOESNT START I BELEIVE ITS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM

I WOULD GUESS IF YOUR STARER IS KICKING IN AND THE DOESN,T START IT WILL BE YOUR TIMING BELT MAY HAVE JUMPED OR BROKE . IF THE CAR DOES THIS IT SOMETIMES WILL RUN BUT WILL SOUND LIKE IT IS GOING TO FALL APART OTHER TIMES IT JUST WON,T START. YOU CAN PULL A SPARK PLUG AND TEST IT TO SEE IF THERE IS SPARK BY REMOVING AND SLOWLY TURNING IT OVER

SOURCE: Not starting and stumped

Your pump is running but that does not mean it is actually pumping any fuel. If you have no fuel at the filter and the pump is running it is almost certain the pump is not pumping any fuel therefore it is defective.

No power to ignition switch

Often that is a sign of a bad connection between the battery and the starter, or a ground. You might try using a jumper to the starter post to verify the problem.

Electrical problems

Same thing is happening right now on a 2002 Monte Carlo. When the key is simply turned to ON, all of the lights on the dash starts blinking rapidly. When I attempt to turn the car over, there is no CLICK or anything from the engine - nada. Ignition turns and the dash goes dark, as if it wants to TRY to start - but nothing happens.
But, when I press the brake pedal (and the key is just sitting in the ON position), all of the blinking lights stops flashing and just stay lit. Therefore, I changed the brake switch, thinking it might make a huge difference. Didn't really help at all. When the key is turned, you can hear the fuel pump engage and everything seems to be ready to go. But, the car won't start (it will only start when it feels like it)...hit and miss, pretty much.
Does anyone know the TRUE solution to this issue? Does the ignition need to be replaced in order to get this car to crank over

Car dies while driving, now it won't start sometimes

Could be a fuel pump that is going bad. Some times when fuel pumps go bad they cavitate and pump not just gas but also air. If you get too much air in the line and not enough gas the car won't start. Have a mechanic check your fuel line pressure.

I have a 1997 Grand Am 2.4 SE that won't start

Check battery full charge, battery terminals are clean, cables aren't cracked, broken or corroded and alternator first.

Which your having replaced your starter with new already. If you're still getting nothing it sounds like a bad ignition switch.

They wear normally and need to be replaced. But as a helpful hint don't place excess keys or weighty trinkets on your ignition keys.

They wear on the seating of the key in the ignition and often promote failure in the ignition from bearing the dangling weight.

2000 Grand Voyager blowing the ignition fuse

Was the old fuel pump bad? It might be worth the cost to replace the ignition switch. The wires to the fuel pump would be a second guess if the old pump was bad and burnt the wires before the fuse went. When you eliminated the fuel pump you also eliminated the wires to the pump and it started. Then you replaced the pump, but not the wires. The ignition switch is the other end of the circuit.

Car will not start

If the starter is good, a bad ignition module or failed fuel pump will produce similar symptoms, i.e. no cranking, nothing happening when you turn the key. Ignition module sits under the distributor cap and is about the size and shape of a cassette tape with 2 female plugs and one male plug. Quick way to check the fuel pump is to put the car in a quiet place like inside the garage. Find a quiet friend to sit behind the wheel and turn the key so the dash lights come on, DO NOT TURN THE KEY FULLY LIKE YOU'RE TRYING TO START. You get down on the ground and listen near the gas tank for the quiet hum of the fuel pump that tells you it is working.
