So I cleared the codes and just tried to fire her off. Nothing.
It sounded like it wants to turn over but it won't. I even had it jumped just in case the battery didn't have enough juice.
White smoke comes out of the exhaust when I attempt to fire it.
Idk what the hell is going on

If you got white smoke your burning coolant... I'm tellin you man you gotta return to stock and take it to the dealer. you either busted your coolant seals or warped your housings.

In this case I feel that Mazda should deny this warranty claim.
