I was having the same problems with my '90 Mazda B2200. I found out that the problem was with the ignition key cylinder harness. I removed the steering wheel shroud then pulled and pushed on the ignition harness with my left hand, while turning the key with my right. The truck started right up. I did this for several weeks, until I noticed that the only bolt that holds the harness into the key cylinder, was a little too long. Got ahold of another one just a tad shorter and replaced the bolt. Truck now starts everytime I turn the key. Replacement harness costs about $100.00. The bolt only cost me 5 cents. Good luck and hope this helps.

i have a 1987 mazda b2600 carbarated 4 cylinder 8 valve and it sat for a bit with bad gas and a blown head gasket. i had the head rebuilt and put in new plugs, wires, cap and rotor. I got it running and put in 91 octane to help burn out the old gas and a few days ago i took it for a drive and everything was ok until the oil light came on but it still made it home fine. today i started it up it ran rough and two blocks from the house it shut down. now it wont fire up and every once in a while it coughs out the muffler. Any ideas?

I have a b2200 and I was told that there is a module called Circuit Opening Relay that is under the drivers side kick panel the bottom one, that may fix your problem, I haven't had the time to replace mine....

#23 of 23 1988 Mazda B2200 won't start No spark by paulntxk

Sep 22, 2012 (8:13 pm)

I have a 1988 Mazda B2200. It will sometimes start but die in maybe 5 seconds. will not restart, seems there is no spark when I hook a spark plug wire to a loose grounded spark plug. Sometimes if I leave it for a few hours or days, it will start again and then do the same thing (just quits like you turned off the ignition switch). Help please!!!
