98 Protege' won't start. 1st problem in years!

bobnsofi · Aug 26, 2009

OK, been running this fun little get around 98 1.5L Protege' for several years... trouble free... it's been nice!

Tonight, parked it for a few, and now, she just cranks, and cranks. Seems like she is not getting fuel, as she kicks a touch with no gas pedal.

So, it's dark, I will crack into her at daylight tomorrow.

Any hot advise from you experts????

thanks in advance!

Four days ago my 1996 Protege developed a problem with starting when the engine is hot. The engine starts fine when cold and runs with no problems. When I turn the key to restart when the engine is hot, there is no response at all. I took it to a Mazda dealer who ran diagnostics and changed the plugs and wire set and cleaned the intake and fuel injection system. I drove it home (20 minutes driving time) and tried to restart and had the same problem as before. Anyone have any ideas what the problem is?
