Anyone in Merritt Island wanna help?

[SlimMilkMan327]

I'm having some issues with my car right now and I was wondering if anyone that lives close to me would like to help me figure out what's wrong and fix the problem. I have a 03 p5 that is having some sluggish lag problems, and it feels like it's going to stall in the middle of the road, especially when I'm at about 60 mph and up and let go of the gas. If you know anything it'd be great, or even better if someone would come over and help it'd be even better. (dance)

If it only occurs when dramatic throttle changes occur, maybe it's a dirty EGR valve, or PCV valve? I'd start there and clean them, and see if it's improved.

I'm going to, I"m also going to get fuel injector cleaner, I haven't done that at all and I have 12 k on the car. If I would have been informed earlier

 

[registering]

12K's pretty soon to worry about fuel injectors, but if it's a mucky EGR/PCV no long-term damage should've occurred.

I live in Rockledge (just across the 520 bridge). I'd be willing to give you a hand. Just let me know when's best for you.

I've got a decent set of tools and a 3-ton hydraulic jack if you don't have anything to use.

I was driving by you today over the bridge. Slowed down till you got next to me to say he but i guess since i was not in my MSP i didnt get your attention. Oh well nice p5.

 

[Scott]

Yeah Mark, in your current ride, you just look like some crazed stalker.

 

[freshorange]

NO way dude, I was in my JEEP i don't think you have seen it before. I only drive that other piece of S@#t when i have too.

Yeah Mark, in your current ride, you just look like some crazed stalker.

 

[Scott]

Well La-Dee-Dah! A Jeep!


Heh. I'm just kidding. You look like a crazed stalker no matter what you drive. Damn kids and your facial hair.

 

[freshorange]

WTF!!!!!!!!! you are so nice...

I was going to take it to mazda to have them look at it, so I removed my obx header and I started it up and the problem ceased. I think I may have cracked my header somewhere, and if I did it would be a very small leak cause I can't really see it

 

[Scott]

If you need help finding the leak, I can help you with that. Bring it over some time and I'll hook it up to my air compressor.

 

[SlimMilkMan327]

I am a retard when it comes to directions lol maybe when I have time I'll send ya a pm and we can meet somewhere

 

[Scott]

Sounds good.

 

[SlimMilkMan327]

update, it's not the header, I was driving to my gf's house and my car stalled on me like 7 times and it's an auto. I put my foot all the way down on the gas and it would not go (and I didn't have it in park or neutral ) so the problems seems to be more serious than I thought. I'm just gonna have to take it to mazda I guess

 

[Scott]

Be careful taking it to Boniface. Apart from Jose, most of the people in the service dept don't have a clue about anything.

 

[SlimMilkMan327]

the problem is fixed now, I found it myself

 

[Scott]

Good to hear.

But if you ever need anything, just let me know. I'm just a short drive away and I'm always willing to help a member in need.

 

[SlimMilkMan327]

hey is there a good place to get my header coated around here?

 

[Scott]

You mean like ceramic coating?
