my bitch started fonce.. now I want to kill it again
well it has taken me about two weeks to get the car to start again...
I havebeen pulling the EGI fuse and it never worked.. not once...
the only way I was able to start it this time was to pull the leading plugs put in ATF and then clean the plugs ( my goodness they were bad with wet nasty black stuff) let it sit for about 20 min then started it up..
I let it run for about 30 min or so to burn all the ATF out and then turned it off..
the whole time it was still running rich.
well went out to start it today to see if I would have the same problem.. and well hey it kinda started went then acted like it would do anything else but kicked in and kinda sputter for a bit
well was able to get it to idle and so I let it sit and run for a few min whil I had to do something came back and the thing was bouncing around a little on the idle and then just died.
tried to start it once again and no go at all...
WTF??
I don think it is the motor loosing compression, it still had decent power to it when I was last able to drive it, and when I took the plugs out I heard nice even gushes of air from the holes... also when I pull the EGI fuse out I can even hear it out the exhaust.
but what gives??
I know my fuel injectors prolly need some help but this just started out of the blue...
would start up fine now it just runs rich and keeps flooding like crazy
I am running tow things of fuel injector cleaner on a full tank also
any ideas out there?

I just bought my 90 for $2000. It does the same thing. I dont think its compression either...this baby was babied! 178k with no leaks! all mainenance records clean in and out! the owner said it just started doing this right after she put fuel injector cleaner in the tank as told to do by her mechanic. I don't know, I hope its not compression. I'm gonna burn through this tank and filler up with some fresh chevron 92.

do a search on flooding,
you injectors might be leakin out a little gas and washin out the seal so you got no compression when your try to start it, adn then you have to do the ATF tricks,
but test your compression, run some supreme with injector cleaner, and if the problem persists check into gettin the little bleeder kit or whatever from mazdatrix
someone correct my if my info is wrong cause it may be
