I decided to hold the key and see if the bad wire wud smoke. Noticed smoke coming from the passenger side engine mount ground. Disconnected that and held the key again and the grounds on the head near the coolant temp sensor started to get hot now.? Lost completely.

I just spent all morning going through this car AND alll of the wires are connected where they are supposed to be. I downloaded an electricaL diagram and the grounds seem to be ok. As i hold the key the start clicks once but the battery terminal will smoke. Any ideas? I know its a grounding...

The header he has has a male EGR fitting. The mp3 header has a female EGR fitting. His ebay header is the exact same header that came with the JDM engine that my customer got delivered to me. I ran into the same issue with the EGR. It has a wierd angle. If his header is the male fitting...

Oh youre local to me. I have an MP3 in my driveway i just did a FSZE swap to and i have all of the EGR stuff. Its simple to get to the EGR nut. Use an adjustable and get the car in the air. You can squeeze your arm through and crack it loose. Use PB blaster or something similar.

That is for a FSZE engine. You will need to switch the intake manifold and egr tube i have both you can buy. $140 shipped. Can send you pics.

I used to have a 20B single turbo FD. Miss it dearly

What CTVtec isnt big enough for you DIKK?? Small world.

I thought when a CKPS was bad or off, it does not allow spark or fuel in some cases. My issue is that the starter just clicks. Nothing cranks over. The battery terminals are getting hot. And wow. Thats kind of not what i was expecting for why it is called an MP3. Any ideas?

Im just doing a job on the car and i assumed MP3 stands for mazda protege 3.

The crank pulley makes a difference on why the terminals get hot?

And do you have FD3S wheels on ur Protege?

Brand new battery. Both terminals on the starter are installed. If the starter wasnt getting power it wouldn't click if im not mistaken. What is throwing me off the most is that every ground is installed and the terminals are getting hot. I do not have the exhaust manifold installed at the...
