Report: Cranks but Won't Start, Was Running OK
Mazda MPV Problem
Model Years Affected: 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006
Engine Affected: 3.0L V6
Average Mileage: 156,658 mi (85,000 mi - 269,300 mi)
If the engine cranks but won't start, the fault may be internal to the distributor. Diagnosis will show no spark and trouble codes for the crankshaft position sensor (CKP) or the camshaft position sensor (CMP). Our technicians recommend replacement of the complete distributor assembly if these conditions occur.

Our Mazda MPV randomly won't start, it cranks but won't start or it starts for 1-2 seconds and quits and then won't start again.
