I have a 1996 Mazda 626 DX 4-cyl. which on occasion will not start. It seems to occur when it sits over the weekend. I have changed the fuel filter hoping that was the problem, but it did it again this AM. It could be a sensor, but I don't know where to start. After it does start it runs fine, except a possible hesitation that is so minor that I cannot be sure that is what it is.
