Hi, own a 2005 Mazda 3 hatchback sport. Having an issue with stalling. The car stalls at red lights randomly, also when flooring it to test for issues the RPS's cut out sharply and then jump back in. We just financed the car and have had it to two different garages with not great results. The dealership is giving us the run around and im hoping someone here can help as we are nearly out of options. I really appreciate the help and if we can work this out would be willing to pay. Thanks for your time

had the same problem with my 929 found my intake hose between maf and throttle body craked in two places for now i duct tape it car ran like new. good luck with yours...steve

 

Mmmmm it shouldnt just cut out thats very strange what cc is the engine?

 

Its a 2.3 liter i believe. is a weird problem. Ill check the hose as well. Thanks steve.

 

Mmmm Ok it sounds weird but are you getting a lack of power or any running faults whilst driving the vehicle? is the idle speed ok does the vehicle have any unusual noises coming from the Engine bay? Ask your garage to try cleaning the throttle body butterfly i have seen in some worst cases carbon stuck around the butterfly which causes the vehicle to cut out at junctions and run at a very low idle speed, its worth a try , tell them NOT to use Carb cleaner just give the throttle body and butterfly a wipe with a cloth or rag. It could also have something to do with fuel / fuel pressure related fault , ask your local garage or dealer to carry out a fuel pressure inspection please. Hope this info helps.
