I just had the same problem. What I have found out is that it could be one of a few things. (1) first check your spark plugs. (2) check your fuel pressure, if you are not getting the correct pressures you may need a new fuel filter. (3) if your fuel filter is clean then you will need to replace your fuel pump. I hope that this will fix your current problem The anti-theft feature, when activated (theoretically when anyone attempts to start the car without the proper key) cuts off the fuel flow after 3 seconds, causing the car to start fine, but then die. I had a similar problem in my 96 gt, try unpluging the cars computer(underneath the glove compartment) and pluging it back up. Then try starting the car again.

What would cause a 1994 Mazda B-3000 to shut off while running?

I was told the computer was bad. I would test the computer first. It may also be the ignition module. I had the same problem with my '94 Mazda truck. It would be running fine and then just shut off. Also had trouble starting up every now and again. Usually i could just tap on the ignition module several times and it would start right up.
