engine

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...

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?
