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...

My battery died last night. It was really weird as when we walked up to the car the interior lights were still on (normally they'd time out wouldn't they?) The car unlocked normally. I pushed start and nothing, red key on dash, flashing push button (orange). We tried to jump it but the key was...

I have a 2012 Mazda5 Sport automatic with 83,000 miles. I believe my engine and transmission mounts may be bad. I found a company that sells all the 2010 mounts in one set at a very reasonable price, but I can't find anyone who does that with 2012 and up. It is my understanding that the 2.5...

I've got a noise coming from the drive belt area that I would describe as sort of a hollow, metallic gurgle. It increases when throttle is applied, but you can still hear it while idling when the hood is open. It's mostly noticeable at lower speeds, although this could be due to ambient...

So I just went through hell with my ms3. First a rod goes through at 72k. I took it to a mazda dealer to try to get some help and they said they possibly could if they find that the issue wasn't my fault. So I take in the car not only was I denied but they also charge me to inspect it(they...

First off, to those of you out there not changing/checking your oil very frequently - start doing so now! These engines are being made way too thin/lightweight to improve gas mileage and as a result are going through oil at higher than "normal" (for most cars) rates. Mazda won't tell you this...

Hello, have a question for everyone! So I have a 1992 Protege LX 1.8 DOHC, last winter I was on some ice and wind blew, car hit the railing while driving over the bridge. Really has a couple dents nothing major but car died. I can't start the engine, engnfrom what I can tell hasn't been...

Hello, I am new to this forum but am hoping someone could give me some ideas of how to troubleshoot the issue I am having. About the vehicle: 2013 cx-5 sport 58k miles Fwd/ manual transmission No prior electrical problems or dash lights on Did just have the pcm programming recall done on it...

I'm looking for a good quality exhaust manifold, preferably a high rise style with a t3 or t4 flange. Anybody have one they are selling, or know where I can find one?
