As simple as this may sound, but is your battery tied down securely? Also have you checked all your ground cables, maybe done some voltage drop tests?

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.

ALSO, NO CURSING IN POSTS.

sorry about cursing

the mechanic said that the cause was th fuel pump

so he is charging me 300 since i do not know how to do that

= )

its better then most mechanics are willing to charge me

so we will see later on today whats the result

How much of the $300 is he charging you for labor$

it's super simple to replace, doesnt require much expertise, i'd say if he's charging you more than $60 for labour, and you make less than $30/h, do it yourself lol

No doubt.. wish you lived closer to me.. I'd only charge you $200 for the job.

id replace it for free...i put a walbro in my car and i i wouldnt have played arround with the care the whole time it would have probly taken thirty mins at MOST
check your idle air controol... they tend to have issues on the b6...not much you can do because of price but you can clean it....

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 ?
