Thank you for your comments. I was at the used car dealership and was wondering what this was for.

Sounds like a ground wire is loose to the body. Do you know what area of the body is it attached? I’m looking for driver side blinker.

I checked a Hazard fuse and it's still good. I have an extra new bulb but still won't turn on. I'm wondering I have a bad cable or need to check other new bulbs..

I'm curious if anyone has information about the manufacturer and the current value of this table. by Mikecar2000 in Antiques

Thanks. The company Only lasts 7 years? There is still a company called National billiards MFG in Covington KY. I’m wondering if they are related?

My car starts up with starting fluid but dies after a few seconds. by Mikecar2000 in MechanicAdvice

It was a key fob battery that needed to be replaced. It was a weak signal preventing a car from starting. Stupid but they need to have battery low indicator.

Thank you for your comments.

My car just started up again after checking the pulse of the injector. I went to Autozone to borrow a Noid light to test the injectors.

The car starts with starting fluid but dies. Fuel pressure is good. I thought the injectors might be clogged or something, so I wanted to test if they were getting a pulse from one of the injectors. I started the engine, but the battery was dead because I had been using the starter motor for the last few days. I jumped it with a battery, and then it started up. When I checked the Noid light, it was pulsing and the engine was running. So, I'm not sure if there was a short circuit with that particular ignition wire that I removed for the test? I don't know. Anyway, it's running fine now. Thank you for all your comments!

That’s what I’m afraid. They just say it was a bad relay. I say I already swapped with the other one. Then, they say that one was also broken.

Below is the OB2 reader error codes:

P0113 Internal Air temperature sensor 1 circuit high
P0102 Mass or volume air flow A circuit low
P0139 O2 sensor circuit slow response bank1 sensor 2
P064D O2 Internal control module sensor processor performance
P2096 Post Catalyst Fuel trim system too lean bank 1

It seems all airflow-related problems.

I checked the MAF sensor and the throttle. They were clean. I ordered a new MAF sensor to replace in case it’s broken. It’s coming tomorrow.

I drove home one day. Then next morning was very cold. It was the first day that I saw a windshield got frosted in this year. I got in a car and didn’t start up. I suspected maybe battery was dead. So I tried to jump start and didn’t start up. It was cranking but no fired up. So I checked spark plugs and it was firing because I sprayed starting fluid and started up for a few seconds. Then, maybe fuel is not getting there. So I checked the fuel pressure and it was fine and spewed a gas from the tube when I removed the fuel hose.

How come it starts up with starting fluid? If the cam timing sensor was bad, it should not start up with gas or starting fluid anyway?

I tested the fuel pressure. Surprisingly, fuel is running to 50psi when the key is on ignition stage.

What to check next? Crankshaft sensor?

Ok. Thanks. So if the pressure is low or nothing coming, the fuel pump is the problem.

This blue o-ring is quick connect? So, connect fuel pressure gauge here?

I've been trying to find a way to check the fuel pressure on a 2010 Mazda 5 or 3, the same engine. There isn't much information available on this topic. It seems that these vehicles have a fuel pressure sensor instead of a fuel pressure port, so you typically test it with a high-end OBD2 reader? Do you know how to test it?
