  • Stalls then won't start

    So I was working on my Auto 89' L Festiva, me and my buddy got it to crank and run for a little bit, and then it stalled out as soon as it got near operating temperature. We tried to crank it back up again, and it wouldn't start up again. It seems as soon as it starts getting hot it won't turn back on. I have been working on the car for around 2-3 months now, and I have replaced the air filter, fuel pump, fuel filer, and the gas tank. The engine isnt stock its a 89' Mazda 323 1.6 liter fuel injected. I'm completely clueless on the problem. Please if you have any advice send me a message or comment below. Thanks!

    ok, first question: what did you swap in and what did you re-use from the Festy.

    second question: can you drive it up to the point that you get up to temp? and if you're driving durring that period, does it continue to run while you're moving?
    Trees aren't kind to me...

    currently: 2 88Ls (Scrappy and Jersey), 88LX, 90L(Pepe), 91L, 91GL (Skippy) 93 GL Sport (the Mighty Favakk), 94 (Bruce) & 95 Aspire SEs, 97 Aspire (The Joker),
    94 Justy 4WD, 87 Fiero GT, plus 2 parts cars. That's my fleet.

      The whole engine was swapped out for the 323 1.6 liter.
      And at the moment it's just sitting in my backyard, we ran it for around 5 minutes and then it just stalled out, my buddy was manually revving it so it'd stay on but it just wouldn't stay on, we tried to recrank it but no luck.
