2001 Mazda tribute starting problems
My 2001 Mazda tribute LX has an intermittent starting problem. Once in a while, the engine will crank but not kick in. After turning the ignition off for a few seconds, it will start like there was nothing wrong.
When the problem occurs, I have turned the ignition on so only the fuel pump runs then try to start it, thinking the fuel may be draining back into the lines. It cranks a little then starts.
The fuel pump was replaced a little over a year ago and I just replaced the fuel filter a couple of months ago.
Does anyone have any idea why this happens?
