Problem overview

Some Mazda CX-5 owners report experiencing engine stalling during acceleration, which may be attributed to various underlying issues. These include problems with the fuel system, such as low fuel pressure due to a faulty regulator, a blocked fuel filter, or a leaking fuel line, all of which can lead to sluggish performance or stalling. Additionally, owners have noted that issues with the air intake system, like a clogged air filter or a malfunctioning mass air flow sensor, can trigger the check engine light and contribute to stalling. Furthermore, problems with the ignition system, particularly if the engine timing is off, can result in stalling and misfiring. If these issues persist despite replacing components like the brake sensor, it is recommended that owners consult a qualified mechanic or Mazda dealership for a thorough diagnostic check to identify and resolve the root cause of the stalling issue.
