I have a 96 Mazda Bonga Super custom.Its an auto and has a manual choke.
I'm have stalling problems. After maybe 5mins of driving (sometimes not every time) it will start to stutter and if i don't rev the s**t out of it, it will stall. Its up to temp at this stage also. Thoughts! Cheers.

Check the fuel filter then as above.

Now I often see this. "check the fuel filter". How exactly do you 'check' the fuel filter! There are a few reliable ways. Checking fuel flow either side of the filter and evaluating the total (giving the pump performance on the line before the filter) and the difference (giving the losses due to partial blockage) or by using a differential pressure gauge across the filter to measure the pressure drop.
Or simply bypass it and run for a few days and see if the problem disappears or improves.
Personally, I'd just replace it regardless, if it's an unknown quantity.

my bad, skim reading.
Fuel filter first, but fuel pumps are common issue with these - rotor fails in side.

Cheers guys. Thought it might be something to do with the fuel pump or fuel lines. Will get the fuel pump replaced and go from there.

Yeah, why waste time testing! Just throw parts at it. That always works out well.

Often a blocked fuel filter has visible crud in it. But yeah, replace it as it is probably the cheapest of the parts you are going to throw at it. Blowing through by mouth is fairly reliable, very little resistance when they are ok.
