DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THIS PROBLEM IS?

i was driving down a road when i came to a stop light. so i put the car in neutral and when i put it back in first i started going again. half way through first gear my car stalls??? it hasent started since?? i have never had a problem with it before. it does have a lot of KM's (385000) any ideas to what it may be???

need more info, but could be fuel pump died.

Distributor's coil dead. If you have 1st gen Mx-3 it can be corrected without having to change the whole distri

Nope, Good luck with that, let us know what is wrong when you fix it.

more info is needed, off the top of my head id say ir disty is shot. pull a plug wire off and ground it to the block and have someone crank the car, if no spark is present its ur disty, if there is spark i would check ur fuel pump

It's not that easy. I would start by checking for spark. Pull a plug wire AND a plug, ground the plug and crank the motor. If there is no spark it might be the distributor, but it could also be many other things as well (cap, rotor, coil...). Make sure you know what the problem is before you go and start replacing things. If there is spark, check fuel pump operation. The easiest way to check is to pull off the fuel line at the fuel filter(relieve fuel pressure first), put the line in a small container and turn the key on. If you get gas then the pump and filter are good. If no gas then check and see of the pump is getting a signal, if it is then the pump is no good. If it is not, then start by checking the fuses, fuel pump relay and the ECU. That's where I would start.
