dont be thrown off - these are fitted with mazda engines

I prefer these repair manuals you can keep and print out seperate pages

I would start with a simple tune up
if it idles ok
spark plugs/leads failing - can cause a stall under load

a timing belt renewed when required - will prevent an engine failure

in general a 2001 laser are a good car if maintained

I have one under my care at this time
