Mazda Repair: 1994 Mazda B 4000 Intermittent Starting Problem, neutral safety switch, mazda b4000


Question
The Mazda B4000 V6 will sometimes just not start. It usually starts right up and runs fine, then out of the blue, it just won't start. It usually occurs after a short trip but once did not start up first thing in the morning but it started up after lunch, ran fine, then would not start again. Usually, if you wait about 10 minutes (or on a couple of occasions 2 hours), it will start and run fine. It has been towed to Mazda dealers when it would not start but they could not find anything wrong because once there, it started and ran fine. It doesn't do this all the time, just sometimes. No one can figure this out, can you help.

Answer
Hi Paul thanks for asking,
this is not a common problem but i have seen this, next time this happens put the vehicle in neutral and try to start it, if it does start then this vehicle needs an inhibitor switch also known as the neutral safety switch. hopefully this helps you out.
Good luck
