1992 Mazda MX3 Mazda stalls and won't restart

Electrical problem
1992 Mazda MX3 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual 150000 miles

The engine on my 1992 MX3 stalls and will not restart. The engine cranks, but will not fire. This started when the car would stall when it heated up, and would restart easily. Now it stalls an will not restart. The dealer has run diagnostics and found no problems. The car will start when cold, but will only run for a few minutes now.

Hi there,

You have to do a logical diagnosis with problem like this, when it wont re start check for ignition, fuel &v injection pulse, when you know what is missing you can start to check the relevant system, if there is no code i would be suspecting a fuel pump problem.
