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...

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...

Hey all. So a few months ago, the CEL came on, car wasn't running any differently, no power loss, same mpg, etc. but I had it read at Autozone as I don't have a reader. code came up P2177, system too lean at off-idle, right bank. I waited on getting around to it, but finally did earlier today...

Hello, I was driving my 2011 mazda cx 7 before I got home. I tried to turn it on an hour later and it won't start and there is no noise when I turn the key. It is not the battery. The lights turn on and the dashboard symbols as well. But again, I turn the key and there is nothing but silence.

I've got some different advice but I'm trying to piece it together on how i want to connect this egr line to my aftermarket headers that dont line up. Its obviously going to be a custom job but i would like to have a few pics to see what others did and how it worked out. Trying to get rid of...
