| 176977 | 2003-09-22 09:08:00 | thanks for the help guys. 1992 Mazda Familia 1.3L auto 4 dr sedan. Those compact style ones.. NZ new - not sure, too long since it was bought. From turners at 1996. It does say CLAIR on the side thou, next to the side indicator lights. What sure what that means. Spark plugs changed 2 yr or so.. oil change, oil filter done recently, what is a choke?? fuel filter not been a while i believe. Uses Shell unleaded 96. Rarely, it would not stall at all. These were noticeably warmer days/mornings.... I will try to find some more info tomorrow morning. |

| 176980 | 2003-09-22 09:23:00 | Has it been doing this for a while? Could be a carby with auto choke that needs a good boot of throttle before starting. It runs bad until it gets down the road and warms up a bit. | wotz (335) | ||
| 176981 | 2003-09-22 11:17:00 | I'm with Tweak but you don't state as to if it is a manual or auto choke. My mother once had a little Datty 1200 with an autochoke which was misbehaving. Three times she took it in and the mechanic said there wasn't anything wrong with it. The next time my father went in to and they took the keys for the night. The next day the mechanic couldn't even get the car to start and had to admit that there was a fault with it. |

I would be surprised if it wasn't fuel injected, in which case it hasn't got a "choke" As its an import by the sound of the odd model name on the side, it could be any type of fuel system, but my experience of Mazda suggests fuel injection would have been standard on the B3 engine that is fitted to this model. |

| 176984 | 2003-09-22 11:32:00 | Been like this for sometime. Nothing more or less has changed. Had the issue for like 12 months or so... Just adapted to the issue really. Once after 1 minute then all is fine. | nomad (3693) | ||

Cracking the whip of course! :p :D > Susan B these days with cars you need to be quite precise and even need to quote the Vin or engine number for some things. It is like a PC the more info you give the better the advice will be. Oh, so all 1.3L auto, Mazda sedans aren't the same thing then? :p [pre]Just kidding :D |
