Electrical system › Ignition › Module
THE MAIN COMPUTER WAS BURNING UP COMPUTER WITHOUT ANY ASSIGNABLE CAUSE. THE VEHICLE WILL CUT OFF WHILE RUNNING. THIS VERY DANGEROUS. I STARTED NOTICING THE PROBLEM 6 YEARS AGO, I THOUGHT THE ENGINE WAS NOT COMPLETELY WARM UP THATS WHY IT WAS KIND OF STALLING WHILE RUNNING. NEED TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE, BECAUSE THERE ARE STILL PLENTY OF MAZDA B2200 OUT THERE EVERYDAY. MY BROTHER IN LAW HAVE THE SAME EXPERIENCE AS MIND. AND SOME MAZDA MECHANIC ADMITTED THAT THIS IS VERY COMMON FOR SOME MAZDA B2200 PICK UP TRUCK, BUT UNFORTUNATELY THIS ISSUE WAS UNREPORTED.
