My Mazda B4000 has an intermittent problem and I am assuming it is electrical in nature. From a stop light the truck started lurching. The cluster panel was flashing all kinds of lights. I was a couple miles from home so i used back roads. Today it is running fine. Any ideas what this issue could be? I did take it to Autozone and they used the code scanner but nothing kicked up other than a known O2 sensor problem. This also happend about three weeks ago. The next three weeks it ran fine. I would think if it were a transmission problem it would be an everyday thing.

battery connections?

Have you cleaned the battery posts and terminals and then tightened them? Also check the ground connection from the battery to the chassis.

Yes I sure did. I will check the ground connections. I was possibly thinking the ignition switch could be faulty? I know its a stretch but maybe possible.

Nice of you to let us know how this came out. Helps other when they have the same problem.

Still working on the issue. When I have a resolution I will update.

Oh!

Oh!

Part of the problem was a CPS wire arcing. Going wire by wire atm.
