1990 Mazda Protege mileage: 130,000. In the last few months, I have an engine stalling problem while driving at any speed. Without warning, the engine would stop responding to the gas pedal being pressed. The engine seems to sputter a little but otherwise no more responses. I would then have to bring the car to a stop, turn off the engine then start it again, and it would run just fine after that. This problem occurs at random intervals about one every few days to a week. I have maintained regular maintenance on the car and just recently changed plugs, distributor cap, rotor, and ignition wires. Also changed, oil, oil filter, and air filter. Could it be a faulty or dirty fuel injector? Does this problem have anything to do with the timing belt? I am about due for change of timing belt. If I continue running the vehicle despite this reoccurring problem, will it damage the engine? Please help, thank you very much.
