Hi All. I recently acquired a 1995 mazda b2300 with the 4 cyl. manual transmission setup. the truck seems to run fine for the most part, with the only exception being that after you drive it for a while and shut it off, it won't start again until you let it set for a while. It still turns over strong, just wont start. After it sets for 15-20 minutes it fires right up again. I've replaced the fuel filter and the fuel inlet hose (outside hose was split thru in places). While I had the bed off, I pulled the fuel pump and checked the tank which turned out to be extremely clean. After replacing the hose and filter, it gave no problems for about a week, but is now starting to act up again with the same problem. I've added b-12 chemtool to the fuel as well. Anyone have any ideas where I should turn my investigation? Seems like a fuel problem, but not sure. Any thoughts would be much appreciated. Thanks.
P.S. Side note: The dome light didn't have a light in it so I got one for it and plugged it in. Light won't shut off for some reason (probably why someone had pulled the bulb out). Makes no difference whether door is shut or not and off/on switch at dash light dimmer has no effect. Not much of a wiring guy so not sure how to tackle that one.
