I have a 2008 CX-9 Grand Touring that has about 130,000 miles. I recently changed the sparkplugs and the car runs great. The only issue is when you start the car up when cold, it turns over a couple of seconds before it starts. Even when warm it doesn't start as fast as it should. When it...

Thanks. I was afraid of that. I had what I thought was an airtight seal the last time but still wouldn't pull it out.

I have been under my 2008 CX-9 three times in six months clearing the AC drain line. Using a shop vac failed all three times but using compressed air worked each time except on the last time is shorted my blower fan and I had to replace it. Now it is sloshing again and I need a permanent fix...

Thanks. I have read of some threads on using the compressed air used to clean electronic equipment. Can you use an air compressor just as easily? I also read where someone said their fan messed up after using compressed air because it pushed water into it but I thought water was getting into...

From what I understand, it can crush the rail. The jack that comes with it rests up against the bottom of the car behind the rail and doesn't lift by touching the rail itself that I can see. The rail just holds the jack in place. Now if I'm wrong, someone please tell me. If you place a floor...

Well, I got under it and put the shop vac against it and let it suck it out. Not much seemed to come out so I ran a long zip tie up inside it. I the put the Shop Vac back on it. When I got out, I notice a puddle of water behind where I was lying that seem to be running down a rail but not...

I am probably over complicating this but trying to find a safe jack pad to use with my Daytona Low Profile Floor Jack. Looking at the round rubber ones, most seem to only have a .5 inch slot and I measure the rail under the car to be around .75 inches. The slot in the factor Jack is about an...

I'm going to try and clear the drain line today. I have a 3 ton low profile floor jack. Where should I place the jack to lift it the best? I know I need to use a jack pad if I lift at the rails. Any particular ones that work or fit best?

I'm thinking that could also be a problem if not "the" problem from some of the stuff I have read. No water anywhere in the car but the blower fan noise changing on left turns seems really weird. Going to check that tomorrow if I can get under it with a shop vac. Watched the videos on how to...

I have searched and saw all kinds of problems with AC Fans, Fan Motors and Relays but unless I missed it, nothing seems to be what I am experiencing. Going through various tests, this is what I am experiencing. It is a 2008 Grand Touring Front Wheel Drive. First, this only happens when making...

I've been reading about changing the serpentine belts and when I go out to look at what to purchase, some reviews for some brands seem to say the belt doesn't fit but may not be CX-9 specific. So my question are: 1. Looking at all the brands, AC Delco, Continental, Bando, Gates, etc. Are...

I still have my 2008 CX-9 Grand Touring that we bought new. It has 135,000 miles on it and for the most part has been a great vehicle. In our search for a new vehicle now, we are still looking at Mazda. Ours is a front wheel drive so never had to deal with some of the transfer case issues...

Oil level was fine and I didn't see any discoloration of the oil. In the troubleshooting checklist they marked all coolants as ok in looking for possible problems. I had them change the oil while it was there and they didn't note anything. I will check the coolant levels tomorrow and oil...

I'm going by what my wife described and what I observed afterward, but have no idea what happened. My wife started up her CX-9 to leave the house. The engine was cold but it was probably in the 70's here. She said she heard a loud tapping/knocking under the engine and when she looked in the...

Thanks. I'll take a look. I saw one but it looked different than the one I had with the navigation system. May be close enough though.

Bump hoping for some help.

I have a 2008 CX-9 with Nav and Satellite radio. From what I understand, my AUX in the center console doesn't work because they used the single AUX on the rear of the radio for Satellite. I have not had Satellite radio in years and want to disconnect it from the AUX and connect the AUX in the...

I changed the battery in my advanced key as it was completely dead. No lights at all. Now the lights on the card flash but my 2008 CX-9 does not recognize it. I remember replacing the battery in one of these before and having the same problem. I remember going through some sequence I found...

Well, I'm not going to complain but it's working fine now. I'll keep an eye on it and if it happen again I'll know where to start. Thanks for the help!

Thanks. That link looks very promising. Something else to go on anyway. Hope it turns out to be something simple.
