Well here goes.
I have an '05 Mazda3 2.3L 5spd. At 96K my motor blew (regular maintenance etc, etc). Replaced crank and No. 1 piston assembly. After getting everything back in car, will not start.
1. Engine turns over by hand easily with a 3/8" ratchet.
2. Wiring harness was compared and is...
it goes, " clickclickclick, click, click... clickclickclick, click, click... " like at a galloping pace. Coming from the timing belt area.
Cars got 86k on it. Time for a new belt I'm assuming?
Thanks, Steve
