 Since approximately june, 2002, the immobilizer has been turning off the engine immediately after i start the car, even though the alarm is deactivated. i usually have to wait 24 hours or so for the alarm to reset itself. this occurs every 2 months or so, but when it happens, it continues to occur for several days. it has happened even when the car wasn't locked. june, 2002, replaced battery; dec. 2002, installed new fuel pump; jan. 2003, installed fuel pump again; april, 2003, bought new key and clicker; sept. 2003, dealer wants to replace immobilizer @ nearly $800. all of these repairs are at dealer's request, and are interspersed with many tows and alarm resets.

 I own a 1998 mazda 626 that i purchased in 1999. i have had a rebuilt transmission put in this car in 2000 because the transmission went out. at the present time, the motor has seized. it just quit one day as my daughter was on her way to work. it is at the mazda dealership in broadening, ohio and they won't or can't tell me why this has happened. i am now trying to find out about recalls and get other info that may help me get my car fixed. *ak
