Thanks for the reply, I have checked voltage it usually never drops below 10.5 at most and has gotten a new battery before. I thought about the amp draw too; it has new starter, ignition switch, and bat cables. I even added in a relay on the starter wire so it has direct power not going through all the safety switches. With no tank hooked up This thing cranks like crazy and sounds normal. This is a rental unit so I have had a lot of time with it. Have also gone through the timing a few times. Even got a new head from the possibility that it had been machined down to far and screwed up compression. Almost wondering if it's a controller issue, I don't see a ignition relay like they have on the gm 3.0s and there is not to many Mazda hysters running around

According to studies published in the English Journal of Medicine, the impact of daylight savings is revealed by a 24% increase in heart attacks on the Monday following the spring shift forward. When clocks move back in autumn, heart attacks drop by about 21%, suggesting that loss of sleep is an important driver.
