Formula Mazda is a series that is part of the SCCA (Sports Car Club of America) that acts as a stepping stone to bigger Formula races such as Road to Indy and then eventually Indycar. This is the first time I drove a Formula car, and held my wits together afterwards to document my experience...

Hi All, Can anyone advise what can be a cause of the strange metallic noise from the from of the car, sound's like it's coming from passenger side : https://youtu.be/EMUl25BisGk You can hear it : 0:06 / 0:20 / 0:28 / 0:46 It's happening only when engine is warm and the car is moving. The RPM...

When driving I experience occasional juddering (not every trip) which clears itself after a while. I first noticed it when it was cold, wet and foggy. Turning off the heater and the fog lights made the problem go away reappearing when turned back on. I tested the battery and whilst ok it did...

I drive an 03 Mazda Protege5, who has given me no problems. Last night, my check engine light started to flash and my engine had no power. I quickly got the codes (thank goodness for my Bluetooth OBDII reader) and got two codes - P0421 (I knew about that one) and P0304. From what I've looked up...

Hello, I am currently looking for a set of 4-2-1 headers for my 03 P5. Shipping to Virginia Beach, VA 23452

I apologize in advanced for the huge pics. I dont know how to format well or resize images Below is a fully disassembled FS-DE (Protege, Protege5) 2.0L engine. I bought this engine and was going to rebuild it for my Protege 5. However.... Some lady decided it would be cool to text and drive and...

Ok, so I grew up with an old school family that has always warmed up their cars before taking off. But I've noticed that the CX-5 is the first car that actually has a temp indicator and also the one vehicle that mentions in the manual that the car should not be driven until the temp...

Apologies in advance if this kind of post is not permitted, please delete if so. I had the engine swapped for a Japanese lower mileage engine because the pistons rings were shot and the engine was burning oil. However prior to finding out about the piston rings being the culprits of the oil...

Traction Control Activated by itself, no snow? The check engine light, the tire pressure light and the activation of the traction control went on all at the same time? I have to stop turn it off and the back on to keep going. And because of the traction control being on it vibrates like im...

every time it snows, especially when the temp is above 10degrees F & snow is a little more wet, within a few blocks of driving the orange wrench light will come on & the transmission shifts a little jerky/chunky. occasionally this will go away, especially if we aren't driving in the snow and...

Hi! I have noticed my 06 5 has a slow oil leak at the rear of the engine. From what I can tell, its coming from the rear of the engine, around the middle (where the engine and bell housing mate). Ive done a bit of research and I can definitely rule out the timing cover and the oil cooler. Are...

Hey guys, I really need your help with diagnosing an issue. I pulled out engine oil dipstick on my 2017 CX-GT to check engine oil level. Engine oil had strong smell of gasoline. It only has 4700 miles on it, the car is new, had a first oil change about a month ago at the dealer. The car runs...

Decided to replace engine air filter on 2014 Mazda 2 sport. I bought car new, so I'm quite sure the air filter has never been replaced before. When I pulled out the old one, I noticed that the edge labeled "Front" with an arrow was in fact pointed at the rear of the vehicle. Hmm, I thought...

Looking for a solid battery in the $100 region. I know nothing about cars or the best place to find batteries other than AutoZone and Walmart, nor do I know anything about the best brands.

Hi all, I'm new here and new to Mazdas (sold my Audi A3 TDI back to VW for way more than it was worth (dance) ). Overall I really love my 3 GT Sport hatch automatic. It has 20,250 km and was running just fine until last weekend when I popped it into sport mode and gunned it off the line - pedal...

On vacation, car working fine. Drove in the morning, fine. Packed car, and check engine light came on. Trunk/hatch very full of cargo, but not heavy. All areas very full, under seats, etc. Checked gas cap. Drove home five hours. Was not near any city areas for service. Everything drove...

I got rear ended about a month ago and my car was in the shop for three weeks. I've had my car back for a week now with no problems, except earlier today I went to go get in my car and it wouldn't start. The engine wouldn't start and my brake was locked up, but I was able to at least turn it on...

I would like to buy a header or exhaust flange for a 99-00 protege 1.6, or Euro/JDM 323 1.5L. Thanks!
