Some Mazda B4000 owners report experiencing rough idle and sputtering at 1100 RPMs, which may be attributed to fuel delivery problems. These issues can stem from clogged fuel injectors that hinder proper fuel flow, leading to sputtering at idle. Additionally, problems within the fuel system, such as a dirty fuel filter or a failing fuel pump, can disrupt fuel delivery and contribute to these symptoms. Some owners also report low fuel pressure as a cause, which restricts adequate fuel flow to the engine, exacerbating the rough idle. Furthermore, exhaust leaks may introduce excess oxygen into the exhaust stream, negatively impacting performance and causing sputtering. To effectively address these concerns, it is advisable for owners to have their fuel system inspected and to perform regular maintenance on components such as fuel injectors, filters, and pumps.
