i drive about 75 miles to get to work. 99% of it is highway driving. after about driving for 25 minutes, i stop at a stop light and before i do, the engine stalls. i have changed the spark plugs, wires, cap and rotor. it appears there is a miss in the motor where the rpms drop every 5 seconds or so. but when i start to stop the rpms drop really low and id say about 60% of the time, the engine will stall. in the summer, problably 80% of the time. any suggestions?

I own a 90 Protégé and we have tought too that is was the fire but it was finally the gas tank and fuel pump and maybe in your case the fuel line ...Try to get it cleaned or buy a new one ...

Hello!
Just read your message on the Mazda Club website. Although my car is a 1986 323 sedan, I had a similar problem with intermittent stalls. The problem was a missing ground wire. (I kept noticing that I'd get electrical shocks when touching the door handle.) The dealer created a makeshift ground which he attached to the engine. Hope this response helps. Good luck.
M.S.
