Wouldn't start...
Had the Z for about 3 weeks now. Getting used to the throwout bearing racket. Clutch pedal (from time to time) refuses to return to proper rest position (stops about half way). I can live with all that, but today after driving 40 miles home from work, I stoped at the local convienance store for a six, and the car wouldn't start. It would turn and turn and turn but not start. Called the wife to get the tow rope to come and get me. Before she left the house the car started.
My question to you is... Has anybody experienced this and what was the fix.

If ir cranks but won't start, you're missing either air, fuel, or spark. I doubt air would be your problem, perhaps your spark plugs aren't firing, of you're experiencing fuel deprivation. Any of these may be caused by a malfunctioning sensor that gives your ECU inaacurate readings causing your engine not to run. Good luck.

Never had this issue on my Z - but it happened years ago on my Maxima. Refused to start a few times - then would magically start. Fuel pump was going. Never gave me any warning.
Daughter's Mazda3 - neg battery cable was loose - BUT - it wouldn't turn over at all when that occurred.
I agree with the above post - either air, fuel, or spark. My bet is fuel....
