91 mazda miata mx-5 cuts out around 2100-2200 RPMs. Doesn't matter if it's in gear or park. Check engine light doesn't come on so there's not any trouble codes for the on-board ECU diagnostics. Car was running fine ( though it was sitting for awhile ) untill I took it for a smog test. The air bag warning light does come on and flashes 4 times- pause -4 times, etc. Cant find or hear any vacumn leaks or worn wires/connections. Please help.

Sounds like petrol starvation - the pump may be in need of replacement.
