    My car started to run not so great. I kept it limping along and when I tried to push it to cross the street the car shut down and will not restart but cranks very easy. Took it to a mechanic who said the timing belt isnt broken but when it cranks pressure comes out the intake. Also gives a...

    P0171

    Just had this code pop up. I had the issues that are so common with idle but it cleared apparently. Just added a can of seafoam to the tank and I got this code. Cleared it and it was back right away. I looked up the code and saw what it might be but what causes this code the most often?

    worn out side motor mount 2001 ES

    Basically the title tells the story. With 170k on my Mazda I need a new side motor mount. I replaced the one underneath (front) a year or so ago. The car is a daily; I dont race it (I have a 12 second Mustang for that). In the last year I have fallen on hard times. I am wondering if I can use...
