I have been driving my Mazda with no trouble at all. I had gone to the store that evening and came home as usual, parked it with no issues. The next day I got up and went out to start it and it wouldn’t start. It turns over, acts like it wants to start but doesn’t. Had one mechanic come out and he said it was fuel pump so switched that out and still issue. Then he said distributor cap so replaced that and the rotor and same issue. The mechanic quit responding to me. A family friend came out and said there was no spark getting to the distributor cap so don’t know what our next step should be.

Okay, let's use a test light with the key on to see if the coil is getting power to the blk/wht wire.

Let me know if there is no power, I would check all fuses with the systems on.

Here are the fuse locations and the location for the main ECU power relay and the ignitor which goes out as well. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
