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...

2006 Mazda mazda5 Idles hard when in reverse or drive but goes away after sitting in gear for a minute, Shift fine except when going 50 and passing 4th to 3rd is fine but it shift down to second and jumps, signs im seeing is torque converter but before i get to anything like that any ideas of...

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!

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...
