Asked by GuruD6155 Sep 19, 2017 at 05:46 PM about the 2001 Mazda Tribute ES V6 4WD

Question type: General

I have a 2001 Mazda tribute.  It will start, but after
a few minutes it will start to sputter and it will shut
off loosing all power and will not crank at that
point. Once it sits for a few minutes and cools
down it will start right up again. But after idling or
running for roughly 10minutes or so, it's shuts back
down.  What could the problem possibly be?

I just had a similar problem and had to change my power train control modual and all six ignition coils as well as get the system flashed. You can watch the whole procedure on you tube and it is a very common problem.
