Can a bad ignition switch cause the truck to die or idle bad? 1988 mazda b2200

  • wadeinaustin Apr 16, 2009

    my 88 mazda b2200 will die unless you turn the idle screw almost all the way up, and when im driving at higher speeds the truck runs fine. sometimes it will just completely shut down on highway. the ignition switch also in was told needs replaced for other reasons, and i was wondering if this could be connected thank you

91 MAZDA B2200 DIES AND WONT START UNTIL IT SITS AWHILE HAS NO FIRE TO SPARK PLUGS WHEN THIS HAPPENS

I'd say the coil is shot. However when ot does happen make sure you still have 12volts going to the coil. This will help eliminate wiring issues.

Idling problem

need to adjust idle speed by turning air adjusting screw on throttle body idle should be 750 - 790 RPM. make sure spark plugs and wires okay. make sure distributor cap and rotor good.replace fuel filter do a little tune because if engine not fine tuned one bad cylinder will cause engine not to idle if you have fuel injection system clean fuel injectors by filling gas tank full add a can of seafoam to fuel tank see what happens.

Electrical Issues B2200

Your alternator is not yet doing anything. Minimum voltage, even with all accessories on, should be around 13.5 volts. Check all fuses, connections, grounds, and wiring. Have the alternator tested if you find nothing amiss.

1990 mazda b2200 starts & idle but dies if I push on the gas.

You need to run a pressure check on the fuel line with the appropriate gauge.

Will not start, no spark

get spark tester and start testing from the spark plugs back. first hook it to aplug wire and check for spark if no spark ten hook it to the coil wire and check for spark if no spark then there is a chance that your coil or ignition module is bad if it is equipt with electronic ignition.
