Hi, I have a 2007 mazda 3. I feel there is something wrong with the transmission. When I drive the car the gear shift is not smooth and produces little jerks which I find strange for an automatic transmission. And when the car is cold putting it in reverse produces significant amount of jerks...

Me and my buddy have been trying to fix my protege for quite some time now but it wont turn over. When we turn the key on the fuel pump doesnt make a noise and when you crank the key we get no spark from the plugs but once I stop turning the key we get a spark. We think it may be an ECU problem...

The weirdest thing happened to me yesterday. My car was working fine, perfectly. I just had the timing belt, water pump, alternator belt, and spark plugs changed like 3-4 weeks ago. Then all of a sudden the idle went crazy, going up and down. When i hit the gas it just it stalled and sounded...

Greetings, I bought my 2003 Protg5 about 3 months ago, haven't driven it much due to an unfortunate Bambi incident though, so I'm about 1,000 miles in. A few days ago, my CEL came on. It had been on before, but had gone away on its own as they often do, so I didn't think much of it. Then...

Hey guys and gals, My name is Shawn and am technically a noob here on this forum. However I have used this forum before but never have logged in. Anyway I have an old 02 Protege with 240K miles and lost my oil plug the other day and realized it too late so now I am looking into replacing the...

Hey all! I'm having some issues with my car: I was just driving home in my Mazda today when suddenly the Check Engine Light, AT Light, and Traction Control Light all came on at once. Additionally, it seems as if the engine was lacking power/not shifting gears at all (it required a constant...

Hello All, I am now the proud owner of a 2009 M2 Sport (cool) - looking forward to joining in the discussion around here for a bit. Just wondering if anyone could let me know the speed their engine Idles at (warm engine). Mine drops right down to 500 RMP, there's no constant fluctuation so I...

My 2002 PR5 has bitten the dust. Threw a rod or somesuch. She was faithful and true for 175k miles, but now, to my dismay, she is defunct. I would like to convert my loss into cash so I can get a new mount. I'm not a true car guy, so I don't have it in me to spend time and money on engine...

Another seafoam question... I've searched the threads on here and decided that I'd rather do my seafoam through the PCV valve rather than suck it through the brake booster line and risk damaging the check valve in the line. At this point, I've pretty much decided that is the route I'm going to...

I have a question for the community that I can't find the answer to elsewhere. Forgive me if it seems a little simple, I'm afraid I don't know very much about engines. If my question is worth anything, your answers will help me learn more, and it's appreciated. My used Protege5 (new to me) is...

So today i was driving when i noticed this funny raspy sound coming from me mazda. i thought it sounded like it was an exhaust leak at first. i asked my boss to listen and he immediately was like oh my gosh dude have you checked your oil?? upon checking the oil after letting the car sit for an...

Hello, So I was doing my timing belt and borrowed a friends torque wrench which apparently didn't work since I heard no Clicks and the end result is I tore a bolt off in the waterpump when I was tightening it :( Any recommendations? I am ready to scrap this car I'm so pissed. Will I have to...

Hello everyone, I went to the search bar to find my answer and either I'm really bad at looking or it's not there. But anyway, I wanted to know if parts from the MSP engine like the headers and things like that are compatible with the engine parts from an MP5. It may seem like a noob question...
