It's the security system in the Milli. It's no fun to correct. You need to hotwire the car to trick the system. Jump the starter solenoid with a wire to the positive side of the battery with the ignition switch turned on. Do it twice and it should turn over. Then reconnect the starter wire and turn the key. All should be good. Mazda gets 200.00 to reset the ECU.
