I'll look into Forscan this evening and see what I come up with. Based on what I have stated, do you have any suggestion as to where I should focus my attention?

Thank you for your reply, that is interesting. I will have to look into the oscilloscope as I do not own one. I do have Forscan, but I don't know it well enough to say whether it has a graphing function.

I do have the original camshaft sensor. I found a video online showing how to test it using a voltmeter and a metal object. The original sensor went from 4.98v down to .3v when tested. Due to my inexperience I thought that perhaps it was faulty since it didn't go to 0.0v. Prior to installing...

Correct, it was purchased with a dead engine, never saw it run. From what I have read, antitheft/immobilizer issues do not allow the starter to engage. I do get ignition in the three firing cylinders (sounds like its going to start) but then there is no continuation of spark and all I get is...

You are correct. I paid for a 72 hour license to use Mazda Module Programmer. During which I reflashed both the salvaged and original PCM's. I had to change the VIN on the new PCM, program the keys to it and then reset the modules to communicate with each other. In the end it made no...

No need to apologize, I am just thankful to get some help with this mess. Below are the answers to your questions: Sparks on 4-2-1 only one time right when the engine begins to crank and then no more sparks regardless of how long it cranks. PCM was salvaged from wrecked car. I was told it was...

I did and forgot to note that one, thanks. I actually opened the harness and replaced the ground wire completely. Originally thought that might have been the issue with the coil packs.

Thanks for your reply. These are the grounding points that I cleaned and verified are grounded. If I am missing any please let me know. Driver side shock tower Ground point on top of transmission Both ground points on side of transmission (bracket by clutch slave cylinder) Ground by HPFP (cut...

Thanks for the reply. I've checked continuity from the crankshaft, camshaft sensors and each coil pack to the PCM. Everything checks good.

I really need some help with this one. This is my first Mazdaspeed and here's the background on my situation: 2010 Mazdaspeed3 purchased with a blown engine. I rebuilt the engine using the following parts: Salvaged block New pistons and rings New VVT solenoid, VVT sprocket and timing chain and...
