I have a 2007 Mazda CX7 with 144k on it. I have had more issues than I can count and have usually been able to fix them until this latest issue... Car has been driving very poor for the past 2-3 months but haven't had a chance to spend time on it (figured it needed a tune up). Been getting two...

I've got an 04 3 that needs an engine. The 2.3's are scarce out of the 3's particularly. So, could I use a 2.3 out of a truck, or a 6, or even a cx? Also, in my experience with engine swaps, it doesn't matter most times whether the motor came from an automatic or manual trans. Is there any...

Hello all, In my random surfings today I stumbled across this gem: http://shop.mazmart.com/en/autoexe-exhaust-manifold-for-protege A little rich for my blood, but if anybody insists on having great JDM stuff for their Protege', there it is... tlott01

Hello Everyone, Got my new 2017 CX-9 Touring last week. Noticed a couple of days ago, when releasing the gas pedal, the car starts do decelerate rather quickly - a couple of mph/sec, does not coast. Tried at different speeds from 20-45. Is it downshifting? and is that normal? Tried to coast on...

Hello, I have a 2001 Protege 1.6 LX and was wondering if any other protege headers (other than the OBX headers) would fit without modification. And what other parts/cars are interchangeable with the 1.6. Such as the 1.8l or something else. Thanks!

I'm looking for a 4-2-1 header for my 2002 Protege5. I know they made them at one point but i'm almost positive they have stopped. The best option i have i would think is the OBX 4-1 header on ebay for about $250. If anybody has any headers I am interested in buying. Especially a 4-2-1 header...

The gas pedal doesn't respond and when it does only works fruition 2-4k rpms. It also bounces the rpms by itself. Whatch video here: https://youtu.be/PVJtcRypLw4 what can this be? Thanks.

I had a shade tree mechanic start to replace my head gaskets. He tore the engine down, then sent me a text telling where I could find my car. (With all remaining parts in the trunk) . So I got my car and had another mechanic friend help get the heads and intake on. Now I find that the driver...

Hello Mazdas247 members, its been a while since I've been on the forums here! But I would really like some thoughts on some Mazdas I'm looking at to possibly purchase. I'm looking at 2 Mazda 6 sport sedans right now. One is a 2006 Mazda 6s with the 3.0 V6 and a 5 speed transmission, with only...

I don't know if this is the right place to post this question. I have been a long follower of the forum for the past two years since owning a silver '03 P5 with tiptronic. For the price the P5 has met my expectations of affordability, maintenance, and a fun ride. Thanks to the forums I have...

Okay, so I'm totally new to this forum so be nice! I've done my weeks of searching about this and I haven't found anyone who has given a straight answer whether this can be done or not. I've seen so many different engines in these things it kind of scares me, so I'm not even sure the FP-DE is...

Once my speed hits operating temp, idling or coming off acceleration, stunningly large clouds of white smoke billow from my exhaust. I have no noticeable power loss. I don't SEE any lost fluids. White indicates water/antifreeze and a little can produce a lot of smoke Symptoms: P0140 CEL...

I'm interested in a new CX-5, but I'm concerned with a lack of power. It sounds like I'd have fun on the twisty roads in Colorado though. What are members thoughts on the cx-5 in the mountains in Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming?

Who's selling kits or internals for good deals...?

I have an '03 Protege 5 with close to 170k miles on it. Just the other day i was leaving work and decided to floor it out of the parking lot without letting her warm up. There's a KandM intake on her which sounds pretty good so thats what im always used to hearing. However, after flooring it i...

This AM, I found that my heater will only blow cold air, and it sounds like there is a fan kicking on that I have not heard before now. While driving home this afternoon, I had the same problem, but now my check engine light is on. Any ideas?

Hey Gang, Luckily, for the past year or so I haven't had many issues with my 02 protege5 and it's now approaching 100,000 miles. Recently, I noticed there was this constant rapid ticking noise coming from the engine. It almost sounded like a lawnmower noise and it would occur at low rpms and...

Thought these graphs might be interesting to some of you. The dyno numbers are from the stock curve shown on the Racing Beat dyno for the 2.5L engine. This first graph shows the lb-ft available in each (6-speed automatic) gear, vs the vehicle speed. It visually shows how acceleration drops in...

running BAD at about 3000rpm PLEASE HELP Ok so this weekend i decided to check my timing belt, plugs, clutch line. I took the valve cover off and the plugs out and checked everything. At the same time, i took the sway bar, air intake and battery out to check for leaks on my clutch line because...
