      I have a 1992 Mazda MX3 it gave me a check engine light the light will turn off and on but not in a flashing way so I was coming to a stop light I put the car in neutral because I don’t like down shifting I slowed down to about 25 mph then it dies I try to start it again it would crank but not start so I push to a near by parking lot with help from someone I was going to try roll start it but then I tried starting one more time and it started with no problem and the check engine light was off and it drove home fine. I was think it might have been a vacuum like but it did not start right up I was thinking it also be a cam or crank sensor I just wanted someone elses opinion thanks for any help sorry about it being so long

        If the check engine light came on and you haven’t disconnected the battery, it’s likely to have a code stored for the issue. I would check the codes and see what you have to start with. That’s going to be your best clue to finding the problem. More info on solving issues like this here.

              How well does the engine run? Timing belt might have skipped a tooth.

                It runs fine its a very random problem and I don’t think it is a time issue because there is not a performance issue but thank you for your opinion.
