Ok I have this car and my distributor went out and I hade I replaced and it was ok. For about 2 weeks then it went out again I had a warranty on it so it got fixed again he said I needed a new valve seal so I replaced it and now since I got it back it doesnt stay running and it chokes itself out I replaced the plugs the mass airflow sensor and the fuel filter and checked all the fuses and I had it put on a snap on dig machine and it said mass air flow sensor so thats when I changed it and the check engine light is not on it cam on when the airflow sensor was bad but now with the new one its off so what would make my car sputter and idle from 1100 to 100 over and over agin never fixis its self and ill drive like 2 miles and it will die ever time I stop but starts just fine /?

About 5 years ago, my 1993 Mazda 626 4cyl distributor went out around the same miles. Like yours, it was fine for a couple weeks then similar problems. Went through replacing parts like you did and it never fixed it. Finally determined the distributor was still bad; it was the wrong one or something? I never understood that but once the second distributor went in, it was perfect.
