| Engine shut off while coasting to a stop in traffic as if out of gas, but tank had over 1/4 in it. engine would cough and sputter then restart and run for about 15 seconds. after car sit about 15 minutes, and with the addition of another 1 1/2 gallon of fuel, car restarted with no problem. it took 7 1/2 more gallons to fill tank, therefore i had 3 gallons when car stopped. dealer suggested possible water in gas. advised to try gas dry. private mechanic suggested a possible weak fuel pump. i understand others have had similar problem. *tr | |||

| Engine stalls when car coming to a stop. engine will restart briefly, then stall again. runs only after allowed to rest for 10-15 minutes. car has stalled 5 times in last month in heavy traffic and must be pushed off the road - very dangerous. dealer suspects fuel pump. apparently this is a known problem with the miata. car has only 53,000 miles and has been serviced religiously. *tr | |||
