I know you said you changed all the sensors. Have you looked into the crankshaft position sensor. It can be intermediate when it is starting to fail.

If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/nathaniel_9ed79ef078a2f164

Testimonial: "That is the only sensor that I have not replaced as the comp never showed codes for it . Will look into it , thanks . I am begining to think the ECM is screwy"

Try cleaning the Mass airflow sensor in your intake hose with some rubbing alcohol, that might help with the hesitation as the air mixture sounds like the issue, also try spraying water on your ignition wires with a spray bottle, if you see any arching the ignition wires need to be replaced. How long ago since your spark plugs have been replaced ?

Testimonial: "Thanks for your help I had already done these things you sugested , I replaced the mass air flow sensor The computer codes said it and the air temp sensor was bad SOOO I replaced them . Did not help at all ."

SOURCE: hard starting in the morning

it sounds like 1 of two things either your starter relay is gone and you need a new one ,they arnt that expensive or its your hold in winding in the starter motor this is a bit more expensive but can be changed quite easily.

It could be a faulty Engine Coolant Temperature sensor. It sounds like when it is cold, your computer is interpreting your signal from the ECT (or lack therof) as being at a certain temperature and not providing the right amount of fuel in order to start the engine when it is cold. Does the check engine light blink or flash at all?

My 93 mazda protege dx seems to be getting too much fuel. when it warms up and give it too much throttle it will stall. it does not burn oil, and there is no blown head gasket but when i start it first...

blue smoke is a sure sign of oil bleeding down from your valve seats (little rubber umbrellas inside the head on each valve) into or on top of the pistons after sitting over night..in most cases a good mechanic can do that repair with the cylinder head still on the car...the stalling is usually open close sensor ..TPS (throttle position sensor ) or spark plugs..both inexpensive easy fixes..GOD BLESS

when my cars do this I check the fuel supply first.....should be a small filter near the throttle body somewhere that could be prob. then check electric/fuel related items. there are several different items with these symptons, nearly always related to fuel....go to a good websight like autozone repair guide for help....also a haynes or chilton manual available at parts houses will save you lots of bucks----i never take my cars to a garage...this is general info, but i hope it has helped...

The fan in my 1996 Mazda Protege just stopped working. I have no heat. Do I need to replace the motor?

put new temperature sensors in the car and that should fix your problems. the temp sensors control when the fan kicks on and off.
