Has anyone had problems with their Mazda not starting? It is erratic and fails to start occasionally. At first I thought the starter was going bad but after doing some research, it appears to be a flooding problems. I had the catalytical converter replaced last month. Any suggestions?

It appears to be a flooding problems.

1. Fuel pressure not within specs. Can be cause by restricted fuel return line or defective fuel pressure regulator.
2. Defective Oxygen Sensors.
3. Leaking injectors.
4. Coolant temperature sensor out of calibration.
5. Restricted air intake system.
