Good Morning,
I am just starting the build process, I bought a 96 m edition from the local tow yard. It was an impound, when i got it it had no key so i had a locksmith make me a key. come to find out the key was partially broken off in the ignition. Long story short, i managed to destroy that ignition switch trying to get the key out. i have since purchased a used ignition. the car turns over fine,tries to start but then dies, seems like no fuel. after a few times i do smell a faint sent of fuel but still no run. This car has the (factory?) Mazda alarm I am thinking it is now stuck in some no start mode. The little red lite is flasing continuously (Fast) HELP! I am pulling my hair out. I just want to get it running so I can turn around and start the tear down and build process. Does anyone know of this no start mode and or a go around? I would like to remove the alarm system when this is all done any way. I have searched for resets and ect on net and no answers yet. Any help or sugestions would be very much appriciated.

****Update, I checked spark and compression in all cylinders, all good, dealer confirmed by vin# that it came with factory Mazda alarm. There was no tech available today (Saturday) at dealer but parts guy very helpful. Still no run, seems like some kind of immobilizer, Has anyone removed the factory alarm from their car? I looks like it ties in with factory harness I don't see a easy disconnect. Does anyone know of a way to power the fuel pump It seems the alarm has killed power to the fuel pump.
Any input would be great!
