I recently purchased a 2006 Mazda 3 2.3 (manual trans) that had a motor swap done before I bought it. It idled perfect but severely lacked power at higher RPMS so I suspected the timing was off and wanted to verify. I ordered a new crankshaft pulley, washers and a bolt just to make sure things were good. The new pulley I received for a (2006 2.3 Mazda 3) looked different from the one that was installed so I figured that was my problem right there... I removed the old pulley, timed everything and installed the new pulley which seemed to be the one I needed as it was lined up with the 9th tooth on my crankshaft sensor. Hooked everything back up and now the car wont start, P0335 and no spark. Both sensors are brand new, cam and crankshaft.. I even swapped out the old ones just to see as they were working before the changes. So I'm guessing maybe this isn't an 06 motor after all? any way to tell for sure?
The original pulley I removed is the first uploaded image and it has multiple gaps in the teeth, the new pulley (second upload) only has 1 single gap and is supposed to be the correct one for my year according to the parts store.. hoping for some insight from the mazda gurus here. Thanks!
Car was also throwing P0016 (correlation between cam/crank sensors) before I began which is why I replaced both sensors and started digging deeper.
