I have a 1994 Mazda B 3000 (same as the ford ranger) v6 engine. It starts up fine but now that the weather is turning colder here in Atlantic Canada if you try and pull away right after start up it will stall and then to restart the truck engine I have to push the gas pedal all the way down and then restart the engine. What would cause this?
I think you need to clean the IAC - Idle Air Control - valve. If your v6 is the 2.9L then the IAC is on the left side of the upper intake. Spray the inside with intake cleaner. You can do it by disconnecting the large hose from the throttle body and spraying the cleaner in the hole in the bottom (connected to the hose that leads to the IAC) while the engine is running. Or you can disconnect the IAC and clean it while it is not on the engine.
