Mazda 323 1992 1.8 efi single cam auto. I bought the car a few weeks ago and the car ran great. in the last week i found that after 5 mins drive the car struggles to take off at lights. missfire etc and jerks back and forward. the plugs are new and the dissy cap and arm are good too. the fuel filter is new too. \i also found that the car cut out one day and was a bugger to start. and it didnt . after 20 mins it was all good again.

Hello, It sounds like an engine ignition control module gone out or a coil. They get hot and quit working after a short period of time, cool off then work again till they get hot.
Is the ignition system pointless electronic or does it have points? Are you getting any fire at all now to the cylinders? Does the tach in the vehicle show any RPM's during cranking? Do you have voltage at the positive side of the ignition coil? Does the coil meet the ohm ratings for that years vehicle ignition? Does the vehicle have oil in it so the oil pressure sensor allows the engine to run, this may not be an option on your particular vehicle? You can check most of this out with a volt/ohm meter. Check your voltages before starting the vehicle, during running and after it quits to see where the loss is. Just don't get near the center tap of the coil or you will get a rude awakening and/or serious injury. Good luck, RAC

See your other post. Good Luck, RAC

SOURCE: will not start

this sounds to me like a problem in your primary electrical system..
ignition switch ,or 60 amp fuse or breaker,faulty wire connector (s)?
how strong is the battery? are your battery cables in good shape ?do you know for sure there is no spark ,or is it just real weak. i may be able to help you through this if you answer these questions ,and maybe a few more and can check a few things along the way i will try to talk you through it. first you need to insure the battery is fully charged,and you have good ,clean ,tight,connections to your battery.
if you dont have a battery charger try to buy one or at least borrow one from someone also needed is test light and ampmeter. email answers and questions to [email protected] and we will work on this no charge good luck and letts get going on it for you..
one more thing what gives you the impression the fuel pump is not working??is there any fuel at all at the fuel rail??keep me posted

sounds like torque converter but also check shifter alignment.

For something like this it could be a number of differnet things. I suggest that the next time your vehicle cuts out on you check for sufficent ignition spark. you can do this by removing a spark plug wire from a spark plug and holding it close to a ground on the engine (or if your brave enough you can grab it lol). and if you do not have spark then i would suggest to replace the ignition coil. if you do have spark then i would check for proper fuel pressure.
