I have a 88 Mazda 323 1.5 automatic. It idles ok but it starts chocking when revved. There is a spark jumping across from the negative terminal to the primary tower of the igntion coils. What could be the cause of that? I have checked the spark plugs, cleaned the distributor cap, changed the HT lead and replaced the ignition coil but to no avail.

Could it be that the condenser is at fault? I did change the coil and it's still sparking... I guess what i'm asking is what would the most likely culprit be should the coil be ok.... Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Sep 21, 2009, 1:43 PM Post #4 of 4 (1446 views) Re: Mazda 323 Sign In I just named all the possible components. The condenser is just noise suppression. Just make sure the coil isn't cracked first. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
