washwildfowler Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) Hi guys , i have a mazda B2500 2000 PLATE crew cab , with a fuel problem it starts excellent first every time, ticks over grand also ....Now when i get to around 40MPH it starts to miss and chug like it's going to cut out but does not , it get worse the faster i go when it misses it throws just a little white cloud of smoke out ,and will not go any faster than 55MPH but at 55MPH it really is running bad ..... i have changed air filter , fuel filter and it run ok for about 20mile then the problem came back with a vengeance ..... I have also checked the fuel line for air line cracks but cannot find anything wrong with that ... so i was wondering if there is anyone that can offer me any advice on it please or had the same problem ... and what i need to do put it right .. i'm out of work at the moment so i'm going to try to fix it myself as money is very tight .. so if anyone can help please make your reply idiot proof for me please lol many thanks WW Edited February 6, 2013 by washwildfowler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Mat Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Was the fuel filter in the tank or in the engine bay? Sometimes there two, one in tank and one in engine bay. I'm not familiar with mazdas but i've had a similar problem with the landy and its always gone better once i've bled the fuel system.

wymberley Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 I know that the car itself is the same, just not sure if the engine is, but you might get more info if you were to say, Ford Ranger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
