Default motor dies instantly after starting.... need help

So for about 3 weeks now... every so often my truck dies out initially after starting.... it happens about once every 2 days...And I wait about 3-5 minutes then there is nothing wrong he starts up like a charm.Could it be the PCV valve, Fuel Filter, or low oil level switch or something else. I have no idea what is going on with my truck. I need advice fast. PLEASE HELP

What kind and year of truck do you have STONEY808? When it does start and then stall does it turn over normally but just not start up or not turn over at all?

its a 94 Mazda b2300. It can run. but when i turn it off go do what i gotta do then comeback and try to start it. it starts for about 3 secs. bogs then dies. then i try again five minutes later then it starts up fine. I changed the fuel filter and disected the **** out of it and it seemed to be very dirty. im also thinking about a fuel injector cleaner if that would help. the truck has about 170000 mi. it turns over when i try to start it.

I have a 94 b3000 with the same exact problem. I think this is a reoccuring problem with mazda. My truck has had this problem for over a year. I have been working to discover the problem for about 3 months now pretty intensly. That includes replacing about $400 in parts and taking it to 2 different mechanics. Let me know if you figure anything out and I will do the same.
