2004 Mazda 6 3.0L - Starts then Immed Stalls
 
Need some help. 2004 Mazda 6 - Starts then Immed Stalls . Just got a fuel pump from junkyard and put in. Spark plugs and ignition coils three months old. Car was on highway and just lost acceleration now wont stay running.

You get this sorted out?

not yet.

Ok. Are there any engine codes? And was there any kind of odd noise when I died?

And I believe the fuel filter is under the car, under where the center council is (between the frame rails). If it wasn’t pouring rain I would check mine.

I had a P0431 for the longest time. No egg smell, No noises.

Pretty sure filter is part of the fuel pump.

As the code description implies the P0431 code means that the vehicle's control module has detected that the three-way catalytic converter is not working properly (is not as efficient as the factory is expecting). Replacing the oxygen (O2) sensors may sometimes fix the code, but in most cases the catalytic convert needs to be replaced to fix the problem. If the P0431 code is combined with other codes, try fixing the other codes first.

This is what pulls up when I typed in the code. you could have a plugged up catalytic converter.

Here's a link to check to see if that's what it is.
