What to do when your Mazda Truck wont start?
When my truck wont start, I will shoot a little starter fluid into the air intake and about 99% of the time it will fire up. I pull out the hose that goes from your valve cover to your air intake between the air filter and manifold. Its the easiest place to do it. You can also open your air filter housing and spray it in there.
