    RPM drops, occasional DSC light on (2014 Mazda5)

    Does this car have an IAC? If so, clean it and the throttle body and if needed, replace the IAC. Also suspect the TPS like you mentioned.

    Please Help! 2018 Mazda3 won’t start after being re-keyed with new fuel pump and starter relays

    Define..."won't start"? When you turn the key, what happens? Do you hear a click? Does the engine turn over but not fire up? Honestly between the security setups in modern cars and all the electronics between the key and the starter, you may need to take it to a dealer to get it sorted.

    Major warning: Alternator or Charging System Malfunction? Mazda3

    2012 Mazda5 Touring with Shifting Problems

    2005 Mazda3 2.3l Oil pan replacement question

    Your Oil pan has a hole in it? Usually leaks are from the gaskets. Not sure they look different to me. They are not oriented the same so it's hard to tell.

    Mazda5 Second Gen (08/09) to Third Gen (2012) Front Bumper Swap

    I doubt it. There were a lot of new lines added to the body. Maybe the bumper underneath will fit. But I doubt the bumper cover.
