It is hot here in vancouver (80 degrees) and I go to start my car and it does not start 'first time' [five second key turn] after sitting overnight... then I try second time and it starts right away... hmm

Any ideas?
One Mazda specialist said Vapor lock and that it is normal..

ahh get it rolling and jump it! i never heard to it seizing unless u screwed a apex seal... when they get stuck the only thing u can do is soak in ATF

 

Are you sure that's a '97?

turbo eh?

 

Yes that is my car (bought it a few days ago) not sure why u think it is a turbo.

Just looking for the answer to my orig question..

Yes it is a 97..one owner, original 5 spd

 

LOL...'97....

LOL again...vapour lock.

You're injectors are leaking and need to be professionally overhauled and cleaned.

 

No offense but someone has been yanking you around. that car is AT BEST an 88, that was the last year of that particular body style, they revised it for 89. then from 93-95 they had a completely different bodystyle. Haven't had em in the states since 95. As far as him saying its a turbo, thats how its listed in that ad.

check the build date in the door jamb of your car, i am willing to bet it was built in 87.

 

sorry..meant 1987.
