Reoccurring CEL issue 04 3i?
I purchased my Mazda 3i in 2004 brand new and have pampered it ever since, but as soon as the warranty went so did my sanity! Was looking to see if others are having similar issues.
Around 55k on the odometer the car begin to act a bit sluggish and the CEL lit up. I took it to the dealership and they said it had 3 codes lighting up as follows:
The dealerships advice was to fix the first 2 issues (they said as Ive read here purge valve is an issue). They reset the CEL and all was well again, peppy 3i. Now about 1500 miles later Im having similar problems (CEL on and sluggish). Tomorrow I have an appointment, if its the same errors Im not really sure what to do Definitely cant eat$700 bucks as I just did that 2 months earlier!(idhitit)
Anyone else had the same issues?
Thanks for any help in advance
