good grief. go google no power. i can see where this is going. go ahead, keep using that mechanic, and go ahead, buy another supercharger. then, when that dont do it, and your "mechanic' says he thinks it's the ecu, buy that. when that dont do it, and your "mechanic" says he thinks you need a new engine, buy that. can i have your old parts?

Default take it to the mazda dealer

if its CRANKIN and not starting,could be anything,if its NOT CRANKIN,could be bad connection to starter,bad ignition switch or a relay.saying that because the alternator and battery were just replaced.on these cars its best to take it to the mazda dealer,they know everything about the car

WRONG. the dealer knows just about as much as anyone else. and, in this case, the same as your "mechanic". the only difference is that you will pay more. take it to the dealer. what a BAD piece of advice.

your sounding like anidiot kennin.THE DEALER made the car.they have all the documentation and service equipment to keep the cars running.so your advise is to keep trying mechanic till you run out of money? wasnt it obvious this person isnt mechanicaly inclined ?

well, if i am an idiot, i certainly know more about the dealer network than you do. the DEALER didnt make the car, MAZDA did. a dealer is a FRANCHISE operation. they have access to way more information about the car than anyone else, however, it is still up to interpretation, not cut and paste. the car has been out of production for 8 years. most of the techs there have never even seen this car. and i didnt say keep trying a mechanic till you run out of money. i was implying that he take the car to a COMPETENT mechanic. and since we are talking idiot here, at least i know how to spell and punctuate
