    Ask Smithy Xtra Mazda 323 revs and stalls

    Mazda Mazda Advice Mazda 323 Mazda 323 Advice Mazda 323 2003
    First thing in the morning when the motor in my Mazda 323 is cold I can reverse out of my driveway but, when I change to 'drive' the motor revs and the car does not move. Shortly after, the car operates normally and will continue to do so for the rest of the day. I have been told I need a new coil. Does this make sense, or do I have a transmission issue?

    If the coil were faulty I would expect it to play up all the time, not just first thing in the morning. Get the transmission checked, particularly the fluid level.
