1993 Mazda Protege Automatic 140000 miles

Car won't turn over. The battery has been replaced. The main fuse has been replaced, however when you turn the key in the ignition, nothing happens. There is no clicking as if the battery is trying to turn over, nothing, No inside dash lights or overhead lights, however, the headlights work. After the main fuse was replaced. The car ran for a day then when we cut it off, nothing. Later we went and the inside overhead lights came on, but the car still won't turn over(start).

Get a carb cleaner and spray into the carb or the throttle body on an EFI. Did it start and die? If not disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -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, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors- Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
