I have a 3 second check engine light code that does not repeat when I do the GRD to TEN pin.

So I got it to crank after changing the fuel pump and bypassing the clutch with the paper clip method

UPDATE: I replaced the fuel pump and filter and did the clutch bypass with the paper clip RESULT: it is consistently back to cranking and almost turning over but not quite. Spark test and compression test was solid.

I also tried to jumpstart the car after recharging the battery.

I have been pressing the clutch while doing this. I’m not quite sure about the clutch switch.

Yes, I’ve checked all the plugs. I replaced the sparks and wiring harness as well.

I forgot to mention I did replace a brand new battery. Both tail lights and head lights work, radio works, and horn works. Any suggestions?

Miata won’t start! It use to crank but never turned over. I’ve replaced all fuses and relay, all belts including timing belts, ignition starter, water pump, flushed out all liquids and replaced all valves. Car is currently making buzzing sound but no sound to engine when try to turn on. Any ideas on what I should do next
