My Mazda starts, immediately shuts off and will not immediately restart. Sometimes it restarts after minutes, sometimes after hours and sometimes not until the next day. This has occurred infrequently but now occurs every couple of days. You can hear the engine trying to turn over. I have had the fuel pump relay switch replaced and the fuel pump replaced but the problem still occurs.

when it is dead you will need to check it for spark, fuel pressure (requires a manual gauge) and injector pulse (requires noid light) this will help tell us which system isnt working
