I HAVE A 1994 MAZDA 626 WITH 118000 MILES I WAS DRIVING THE CAR TODAY AND WAS RUNNING ABOUT 35 TO 40 AND THE RPMS WENT TO 0 AND THE CAR CUT OFF, I PULLED OVER AND IT WOULD NOT START AFTER ABOUT 3TO5 MINUTES IT STARTED AGAIN BUT DID THE SAME THING AFTER IT STARTED. WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THAT

Could be fuel or spark problem. Next time it will not start do below

Disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors- Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
