luk3333 Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Not strictly Toyota but looking for some advice. My girlfriend has a Mazda 121 bubble 1.3l that is having some trouble. It started out stuttering and not idling correctly and got worse until it would drop out unless accelerating. We pulled a code for an air flow sensor which we replaced and the code went away but the problem persisted and continued getting worse until now the car won't start. Speaking to an auto electrician he thinks it is likely the ecu but he was pretty vague. I noticed that there is only a few ohms resistance between the + and - leads with the battery disconnected and keys out and the battery is now dead also. Any one have any suggestions?

B.L.Z.BUB Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Alternator? Have you put a different fully charged battery in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luk3333 Posted December 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 I did try my Ke's battery in it, but when I put the leads on it sparked and I was worried it was shorting the battery so I didn't get to turn the key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Id try a new fully charged battery. Sounds like your alternator was slowly dying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
