1989 Mazda 323 Astina Questions & Answers
Mazda 323 Astina 1.8. It won't start.
Question edited for clarity and add some CAPS.Question moved to model category.Edit to Add: Your other duplicate post (now deleted) says you have no spark. Did you disconnect the battery recently? Check for DTC codes.The question is too vague. Does it turn over, do the lights work? Did you check for Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). Engine light on? Do you have fuel?Here are a few ideas

My car wont turn over
Check to see if your radio works or your interior lights still go on. If they don't then it may be a battery problem or charging problem. If they have power it could be your starter or maybe your alternator. There is a simple test you can do to test the alternator, but it has been a long time since I have had to do it so you may require better advice than I can give. Hope that helps.
My mazda astina 323 auto, wont get top gear now what could be the most likely cause please. t proba
Hi there:From your description I would say the clutch is failing. If the engine speed increases when it's in gear and the vehicle doesn't that is also a tell tale sign it's the clutch.Test it and check if some fault code is stored in the PCM and TCM.Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day.
Overheating wityhout warning. coolant level still full
ok. from reading the above it suggest 1 of 2 possible problems, The first which i'm betting on is a faulty thermostat, the second is the coolant pump. More than likely its the thermostat. Look at the hose from the radiator to the engine. On the engine the hose connects to a metal part of the engine. On this same part you will see the thermostat. You will notice it because of the wires coming out of it (only part there anyway). remove that and replace it. now considering the coolant is still full this can also mean the pump inst working as well. Following the radiator hose, to the engine it connects to the coolant pump, That will need to be replaced. Please note that's the best possible reasons and fix i can give based on the information you posted. They may be wrong as the are other issues that can cause this as well such as a clogged radiator. I would strongly suggest you have this looked at as an over heated engine will ruin it.
Water pump
first you need to find out if the pump is internal or external. If external then you can do it. If it is internal then you will need to tear down front of motor which can be a job. depends on how much you know about working on cars.If internal pump you will need to set the timing again and in alot of cases you have to remove motor mounts remove pullies and on and on. can be a big job. most external pumps are not that hard to change.
