Starting Problems / Mazda MX3

JoNNiE.D

Hi Guys

I have a 94 automatic Mazda mx3 1.5/ the car has only had a new radiator, water pump, battery, and thermostat and has only recently being serviced / Spark plugs oil change,

The car kept cutting out as the battery was pretty much wasted, plus it was from a Nissan micro, was only using it temporary however after inputting the new battery the car still seems to cut out from time to time in traffic and I have trouble starting it in the mornings, and when attempting to restart the car again it is reluctant to start again without revving the axcelator,

The clocks on the car are also broken, the pin sticks at80KM and the petrol gage shows an orange light even though there is half tank of petrol... Could this be an electrical fault?...

The engine is showing that it is overheating on the clocks however after checking the engine it seems to be at a normal temperature? / Is it possible the engine could be colder than average preventing it from starting?

Sometimes when I turn the car off after a drive I can hear the sound of fluid or water passing from part of the engine to the other? / Could this be a leak?

I'm not a very mechanical personal when it comes to cars, So I would appreciate would anyone have any suggestions as to what the problem could be and also some direction as to finding a solution?

Thanks in advance

Get an auto electrician to look at your car, sounds like you have multiple elec issues there. Get out the golden pages on monday morning.. Your engine timing could be out, possibly your timing belt slipped a notch.
