What year, transmission. Look at the bottom of the page and search. Is it turning over and just not starting? Is it only when allready hot? Did you turn it off when it was cold? It could be flooded. We need more info.

hard to turn over might be a going engine.

try and type in complete sentences, if anything it helps get your message across. proper spelling would help alot, not being a nazi, but it will help when communicating problems to other people trying to understand and help.

1) check that your car has all the latest flashes from mazda (found under your hood in stickers)
2) check that you have proper fluid levels
3) please either describe in better detail, or even better, record and upload to youtube, we can help diagnose it
4) you are flooding your engine and ruining your spark plugs, be careful with these none starts. (one of mazda's flash has it set on 10 second max attempt to start it, so give it time)

watch that video, it's what my car sounds like on a cold start, and is what your car SHOULD sound like.
