I have the same problem with a 2002 4 cylider Mazda 626 with 45000 miles on it. In the last one month it has had difficulty starting up three times. The engine turns and seems like it's going to start up but it doesn't. It happened once when the engine was cold and twice when it was hot. The first time (cold engine) when it failed to start up I switched it from park to neutral and back into park and it started up. The next two times the car was turned off for about two minutes after a 10 mile drive and then it faild to start up. It did start up after I let it sit for about 4 to 5 minutes each time.
Otherwise, the car runs fine. Any help is greatly appreciated.
