Mazda made changes to the hot start that increased compression, but didn't say the original starter wouldn't start the car reliably. The original could only rev the engine up to 300rpm and the alternator wouldn't start, this starter spins at 750-800rpm, no problem. With this change you also need a better battery. This seller had the best price and fast.
