Engine turn-over problem???!!!!

[Ktelaine]

Hey guys,

I have a 2004 MZ3 sedan. Last week out of nowhere, when I went to start my car, then engine wouldn't turn-over right away. It's been doing this now for over a week, and mostly when the engine is cold. Anyone else had the same problem with their MZ 3??????

Very annoyed about this.......

It's the fuel pump...It's not able to maintain pressure when the car is off for a while. There's a service bulletin for it. Just contact your dealer and they will replace the fuel pump for you. It's been happening alot. I got mine changed about 2 months ago.

The fuel pump eh, yah that's what people are telling me it might be. That sucks though. How old is your car? You've heard it's a common problem with the MZ 3s? I'm taking it in tonight to be serviced.

Thanks for your reply.

I noticed you have a turbo package on your MZ 3 sedan? What does that involve? Do you have a pic of your car you can post, I'm curious to see what it looks like.

Yeah, it is a common problem with the #s...That's why Mazda put out a service bulletin. You can check those once in a while or when ur having small problems like that and see if there's anything about it.
As for my car, you can check it out here: Turbo 3
