Thank you Awafrican, Unfortunately my father passed away in January 2020 at 88 years old due to a blood clot. At 75, He had a heart attack that he ignored until he couldn’t take the pain. Let that be a lesson to all of us tough guys, go to the hospital. That left him with a...

That he is!

I had problem with the car starting back in August 2019 https://mazdaspeeds.org/index.php?threads/fuel-pump.8849/ due to the new job, my elderly father becoming ill which exposed my mother's dementia the car sat, until May of this year. I became so frustrated with the situation and lost access...

I became so frustrated with the situation and lost access to the SnapOn computer that I used to get the car running, So I called a local shop that has worked on family vehicles. He had to replace the crank sensor and if I recall, It is OEM. I also replaced the purge valve solenoid as suggested...

It ended up being the crank sensor. I will update everything soon in this thread, https://mazdaspeeds.org/index.php?threads/a-a-joe%E2%80%99s-cheap-assed-cx-7-daily-driver-build.7865/ A-A-Joe’s cheap assed CX-7 daily driver build.

Pulled the battery, disconnected the ECU to see if there is any corrosion. There isn't any. Blades on the ECU are very clean, they look like new. I poke around looking at the wiring and I can't see anything that would cause a problem. I put the battery back in and start the car. The engine...

No rats, I pulled the tmic and looked around. Put it all back together and used brake cleaner to test for a vacuum leak, no leaks. I think I may need a exorcism on this thing. I'll check the battery and ecu next.

Due to my schedule the car has sat for a couple of weeks. I start, it roll all the windows down to vent the heat and while I'm sitting there it quits and wouldn't restart.

A little but it's still rough. It did run longer. If you watch the video, that's with the O2's disconnected.

Enki, I hope that it's that simple.

Unhooked the O2's and the car ran alot longer. I cleared the P0304 code before I started but it did throw a P0300 and a U2064 code while I was logging. I videoed the whole thing and I am uploading it. I'll post the link when I'm done.
