APPROXIMATELY 4-5 MONTHS AGO I BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE ENGINE SURGING WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN. UNABLE TO FIND ANY VACUUM LEAKS, I INSPECTED THE FUEL FILLER NECK TO FIND IT BADLY DETERIORATED IN THE AREA JUST ABOVE THE GAS TANK. I REPLACED IT WITH A NEW OEM QUALITY NECK. AT THE SAME TIME I REPLACED THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR, THE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR, REBUILT THE FUEL INJECTORS AND REPLACED THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET. AFTERWARD, I DID NOT EXPERIENCE ANY SURGING UNTIL A FEW WEEKS AGO WHEN, APPROACHING A STOP SIGN, THE ENGINE BEGAN RACING SO BADLY THAT I QUICKLY SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND STEERED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD, NARROWLY AVOIDING A REAR END COLLISION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1994 MAZDA B3000. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE NOTICED FUEL LEAKING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT INSPECTED AND NOTICED A FRACTURE IN THE FUEL LINE HOSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1994 MAZDA B-3000 PICK UP. THE FUEL LINE HAS DEVELOPED A CRACK. CONSEQUENTLY DURING FUELING GASOLINE LEAKS FROM THE FUEL SYSTEM. FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE CAN CAUSE A FIRE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 323,000 MILES.
PARKING BRAKE NON-FUNCTIONAL. FUEL LEAK, NOT ABLE TO LOCATE. REPAIR SHOP CLAIMS PROBABLE NO UNDER WARRANTY. BRAKE VACUUM BOOSTER IS FAILING. ROTORS HAVE BEEN TURNED,PADS REPLACED. DRIVERS SEAT BACK BROKEN. REPAIRED. BROKEN AGAIN. *TR
THE FILLER TUBE GOING TO THE GAS TANK RUPTURED. WHEN I FILLED THE TANK, GAS SPILLED ON THE GROUND. FUMES ARE ALWAYS AROUND THE TRUCK. I PAID TO HAVE THIS TUBE REPLACED. THE TRUCK HAD 53 K MILES. NOW IT HAS DONE THE SAME THING AT 74 K MILES. I THINK THAT THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION AND IS COSTLY TO KEEP REPAIRING. *TR
