Cranks and will not start.

Get a helper disconnect a spark plug wire or two and ground it to the engine at least 3/16 away from ground -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it

Had no power to start or lights and accessories. No power to anything at all.
Replaced battery and still nothing. What else could it be?

Noises problem
1995 Mazda Millenia 6 cyl Automatic 160000 miles

When I first start my car it makes this loud clapping sound around the left side of the engine, after I drive the car it goes away or maybe not as loud to where I can here it. It seems as though it only does it when it is cold cranking up. What do u think the problem could be and should I be concerned?

Hi sarah and matt. Well this sounds like if you only hear it when you are cranking the engine, that it almost has to be a starter or flywheel prob, as far as concern yes it should be checked. Could be the diff of a little money or a lot. Good luck billymac
