Crank 4 sec's 9 (2004)
Crank 4 sec's 9 (2004)
After I have replaced the spark plugs with new Mazda plugs, top up the battery electrolite level and done the 20 brake proc, it still takes 4 sec's to crank and only then she fires up.
I must say she idle's 100% and rev and acc to 9000rpm like a rotary should.
I have picked up o(attached foto's) that between my air box and a sensor on the pipe (going to the intake) there is a small hole which the previous owner have cover up with tape.
Can someone tell me is their a missing sensor? Any comments

Hmm.
Small hole? you mean the tape is covering a small hole at that area ? (between the MAF and Air box)
If thats the case ... hmm ... I wonder what the previous owner did to the car since there is no reason for anybody to drill a hole at that area ...
Takes 4 seconds to crank? not good.
Even my old dead engine starts in less than 2 seconds.

I belive the motor (Compression) is fine, 52 000 km on the clock and the car is still in immaculate cond.
Next step I think will to do a battery load test and then to test the starter.
The hole is a 4mm in dia.
Thanks for the advice
