I had a similar issue, turns out when my gas level was low, crud in the bottom of my tank would get sucked up on my fuel pump screen and stall ou tthe car. If I had a full tank I had no issues. I cant say thats your issue, but I can say pull your pump and look in your tank.

Re: pissed off
There is only a 1.6 4cyl engine for the MX-3, if it's a 1.8 4cyl, the engine have been swaped
maybe it's a 1.8 V6 you have ?
