well i rewired my fuel pump it was a pretty simple affair.

its just the car wont start in the usually way, i have to bleeding hotwire the thing as i cant get past this inhibitor switch. its really doin my head in!

i havent had the courage to ring an auto electrician as they might be reluctant to help me because i have done all the splicing and dicing myself and might charge me more than usual.

im going to make a post in the tech section hopefully someone might have an idea.

Cant you rewire the system so that the inhibitor is left out for the time being?

[FD3SNuttah]

i should explain where i am....

there is a wire in the footwell that goes +12 when you try and switch ignition to crank.

i took a wire straight from that and hooked it up to the alternator. this allowed me to crank the engine. Im no auto sparky!l but i dont think its such a good idea as getting it to crank over by having it right off the wire no relays and such like.

i could rewire the whole ignition system but i really dont want to! if there is a wire or a couple of pins that i can jump saving me time and effort....

Have you found the original plug that went to the inhibitor switch, or to the auto lever park and neutral switch???   if you have found these it should be fairly straight forward.  Do you have a wireing diagram, for the auto and manual..  If you explain again exactly what you have found, and where you are with the wiring I will see if I can help..........

:Grrr  bollocks to this car!!! i bet that even if i overcome this problem there are bound to be at least ten more! it probably wont even start, if it does it wont drive very well and it will probably catch fire or something, and fail the MOT on something stupid a few times.

anyway i have decided that im going to make my own ignition system, i shouldnt have persevered with trying to utilise the stocko wiring, all i can say is **** you mazda!! lol

i going to order another relay, more wire. its a shame as i wanted the car to appear as stock in its operation but screw that now! im going to have a nice push button that lights up and then have a cock pit style switch for the pump. i got so much stuff to do.

i still havent wired that gearbox switch up as the wires are at the top of the GB so i have to drop the gear box again to get at them...  :reallymad
i have to change the rear lights and wire up a fog light switch, then i have to give the interior a bloody good clean as its nothin but filth inside,
fit me seats and then get that ghey rear spoiler off, plastic weld the front bumper and get the hood fixed. wheels and tyres - MOT insurance tax etc

im never going to get it done in time!!!

im proper disheartend at the minute and i still have to strip the donor car down and get rid of bits. life is so cruel  :mad:

HAHAHAHAHHA YEHHHHHHH

it fired up albeit briefly but damn dont i feel good right now. it wouldnt start again after i gave the battery a quick charge up. doesnt matter i HEARD IT RUN!! and it will do so soon enough

all that work that i have done, persevered in the ****in rain and had no clue and took time to learn and when you hear it run, its as good a feeling as buying an FD!!

is this what having a kid feels like!?

cheers for the help everyone, in case you wondering how i did it. i made a new ignition circuit and a new fuel pump circuit. jobs nearly a good un!

im off out to celebrate!

[FD3SNuttah]

i think its flooded as the throttle cable is open as its a bit shorter on the S4 and i can smell raw fuel ****ing out. i will wait till tomorrow and then see what happens!
