1998 mazda 626 stalls

Sometimes I am able to drive my mazda for at least 3 miles and then it'll cut off in the middle of the street. Other times I start up the car and the oil, brake and check engine light will come on. When I turn it off and wait for a little bit it starts up again as if nothing has happen. I took it to a repair shop and they could not find anything wrong, but they did replace the spark plugs. I need help, Sybil

Assuming these are separate problems I would suggest looking at the alternator as to why the car stalls while driving. This can be tested fairly easily to see if it's working properly.

Second, if you are seeing multiple trouble lights like oil/check engine that you usually don't get, and the problem goes away after a few minutes there may be something wrong with the computer, it may be going bad.

2012 Mazda engine troubles

2012 really ? what country? we have no 626 year USA that year
or do you mean the Mazda 6"? 2.5 or 3.7L engine?
cut out means what, be more exact in what that means
ALL DC power and lamps and engine and radio die , on the fly.?
or just engine, all lamps good.
lost power means engine power or DC power or both.
engine stalls. are complex over 50 causes in engine or EFI.and more.
can the stall (stall means engine goes to 0rpm) but can you prevent the stall with a fast right foot?????
does the engine restart easy, at stall? or not.
is the starter motor always working(cranking), after the stall?
stalls may only happen on hot or cold engine or both.
bad spark is #1 cause of stalls. (and lots more ) try new spark plugs.>?
EGR stuck open
IAC stuck closed(idle valve gunked up)
battery died, or alternator dead or intermittent.(or going off line for battery gross shorts or opens)

mazda 6
Mazda since 2002, replacing the long-produced Capella/626.
and
The 626 replaced the 616/618 and RX-2 in 1979 and was sold through 2002, when the new Mazda6 took over as Mazda's large family car. 4,345,279 of the 626 and Ford Telstar models were sold worldwide.

post real car model names and real engine size first and even country the car was delivered to first or the VIN that tells me all that.

My 1994 mazda 626 starts and ldles but stalls when driving

ENGINE STALL WHILE DRIVING COULD BE STOPPED UP FUEL FILTER OR FAULTY FUEL PUMP.IDLE SPEED TOO LOW.OR IGNITION COIL HAS A LOOSE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION.FAULTY IGNITION MODULE.BAD PLUGS AND WIRES. I WOULD DO A LITTLE TUNE UP.CHANGE FUEL FILTER AND AIR FILTER.IF SPARK PLUGS AND WIRES HAS OVER 30000 MILES ON THEM I WOULD CHANGE THEM.ALSO FUEL FILTER IF OVER 30000 MILES.CHANGE IT CLEAN FUEL INJECTORS. TO TROUBLE SHOOT CAR I WILL DO A LITTLE TUNE UP FIRST TO MAKE EVERYTHING TOP NOTCH ON THE ENGINE BEFORE I GO TO NEXT LEVEL.BUYING NEW PARTS DONT NEED.GET VECHICLE SCANNED WITH A SCANNER. THAT WILL ALSO PIN POINT PROBLEM QUICKLY.BUT DO THE LITTLE TUNE UP FIRST IF EVERYTHING PAST 30000 MILES MARK.SCAN VECHICLE FOR FAULTY IDLE SPEED CODES OR FAULTY IGNITION MODULE CODE THEY WILL COST MORE MONEY TO FIX.PARTS HIGH.

Per diagnostic codes i have replaced CTS and MAF on 1993 Mazda 626 2.5 6cyl, now it stalls and quits at a stop, does this have to do with clearing the codes after the work is done, does the computer need...

u followed the pin point tests for these codes you had? did you disconnect the battery after you installed new parts? sounds like u have not fixed the problem, you do have a repair manual correct? did you check the intake air hose for cracks on the bottom which will cause a stall? did you clean the idle speed control valve and the throttle valve, they can also cause this stall, never adjust the the hard stop screw, it will chnage nothing and cause all kinds of other problems, it is not the problem, most likely the intake is sludged up clean it and then disconnect battery for 5 minuter, driv about 50 miles and problem should clear up, if it doesn't you have other issues, recheck for codes.

I try to give my mazda throttle and it cuts out then stalls

Sounds like an air leak on the intake to the engine, listen for a hissing sound while the engine is idling, probably the manifold gasket. Good luck

Car stalls while driving at high speeds

i would start by checking the spark plugs and leads. if that ok i would think there is a problem with the dispack that the spark plug leads fit to, if its cracked or any rust i would replace.
