Hi from Russia, Moscow. I have mazda 323 BA 1997 year with RF engine. I have no documentation for it. I have an ignition coil lamp flashing on the dashboard. I could read several DTC codes but i have no transcription for it. WE HAVE NO SERVICE CENTERS WHO KNOW MAZDAS DIESEL ENGINES! Can anyone help with ANY documentation for this car? Thank you.

a mazda diesel 323? (un-herd of in this part of canada)
im only guessing, but it's either a 1.6-1.8 L diesel? automatic/standard? (curious)
if your coil light is flashing (glow plug light) id suspect one or two things, your glow plugs are getting really bad, or the glow plug relay/sensor is starting to fail. i would suspect the glow plugs, take them out one at a time and test them from a good power source and see if they get hot.
iv been running my truck on only 2 glow plugs for a while there expensive here. (buying one at a time)
If the coil light flashes it could be a sign that one plug has failed so bad, that it has caused a dead-short.
normally when they fail.. they dont usually cause a short. they just don't work.
let me know how you make out with this..
Dave
