PO 304. Misfire in cylinder no. 4
PO 101. MAF.
I'm thinking the the problem with PO 101 caused the PO 304.
Don't just replacing the Mass Air Flow without making sure that is then problem.
Check to make sure you don't have a vacuum leak in the air hoses to the intake.
But...
After a year and a half of searching. The price people want for their Miata's here in Portland is incredible. Most are at least double book value. At book value expect to get complete junk.
I had to drive 3 hours away to get a decent deal.
This is a 2003 Club Sport. Seems there was only 50...
I wouldn't say Mazda stepped up their game. They have always made great cars. I like driving my 30 year old mx-6 more than driving the cx-5. So much so I sold the cx-5.
As far as reliability I drove my 1990 626 to almost 400,000 miles before I gave it to a friend. And it was still running great.
I have my CX-5 posted on craigslist right now for $10,500. Which looks like its about the best deal there. The problem with craigslist is the add does cost $5. And gets buried very quickly by other posts, especially dealer adds. I can see the same car posted 5 or 6 times. Not just one car but...
I used the coverking mesh seat covers on my cx-5. I no longer use them and threw them away. I removed the bottom seat cover for cleaning. I could not believe how much dirt goes through. It got meshed up in the fabric. Also put some wear on the side of the seat, because they do fit very tight.
Seven, all great cars

Old post but finally getting around to fixing this, because I now have the car for sale. I will go to the autoparts store and get some spray paint for plastic.
What kind of black paint should I get. Satin, semi gloss, flat, and I don't know what else.
looking for a black that would be...
Last update for this repair.
Using the instructions in the link you don't have to do the following.
3. You must remove the Battery, but don't have to remove the PCM or battery tray.
5. I disconnected the electrical but did not removed the switch until the pedal assembly was out of the car. I...
Yes that might be the case. I ordered the Master cylinder. It will be here on Monday. Im not waiting on the switches. The first thing the directions say in the removal of the clutch pedal assembly is remove the switches. So I f they go bad I can replace them easily.
Edit. I started taking...
After reading over the directions again. It says to install a new starter interlock switch, and new clutch pedal position switch. Not sure why I can't reuse the other parts. Can anyone verify if this has to be done?
Another update of my mx-6
Turns out the cv joint boots are not torn so don't have to worry about it. So I am just about done with this car. Its now a reliable daily driver.
Here is what I did
1. Alternator. Mazda does not sell it anymore. So went to rock auto and got a denso. Which is...
I think you are right. Not sure why Mazda would make such a cheap part that is a lot of work to replace. They used to make them like brake master cylinders. Now just a plastic piece, no wonder is bad already.
Oh well, hopefully the dealer will have one and I can have a busy Sunday.
