The car has a mazda engine/tranny 1988/1989 323 I believe.

It has 140000 miles and has run great until now. Starts fine and after a few miles the tackometer dies and the car faulters and then won't start. After waiting a while hour or so it starts and runs ok.

Replace fuel pump but still does it.

Please advise.

Check the mass air flow and the alternator.

alternator is good with 14.5 volts output at idle. How do I check the mass air flow?
