Hey everyone, Im needing to fix my car before I head out back to college. Two issues; one engine, one suspension. If you guys can figure it out youre amazing. Engine: burning oil on cold startup. I replaced valve guide seals along with spark plugs and valve cover gasket, the smoke was then not...

Hi all. I'm new to this site and found while researching my Tribute's engine problem. The mechanic told me that my timing belt jumped and caused chaos and my valves hit the head. A friend's father said that is not possible since it is a chain, not a belt. It's a 4cyl, 2.3 liter engine with...

Alright guys, so here's a quick back story. I was coming back home on the freeway right after work going roughly around 80mph when my 03 protege lx (FS) MT non-turbo overheated and turned off on me. Since this happened while the car was still in motion, I attempted to start it again while I...

Unfortunately today while tightening up my exhaust mani bolts I got a little to comfortable with one that felt really loose and just kept torquing it down. This resulted in me completely braking off the bolt head while having the treading of the bolts stuck inside of the block head. As of right...

Hi, I am getting a intermittent noise on my wifes '06 Mazda 5 Sport, the car develops a noise whilst driving. It sounds like a motor has started running and after a couple of seconds you hear a click as it stops. I am assuming the click is from a relay? the noise seems to be coming from under...

I was going to turbo charge by P5 but never did so I am selling my forged internals. these were never installed and are still in their original packaging as pictured. If you are looking to make power and don't want to worry about your engine, this is the way to go. Crower Rods: the strongest...

I just grenaded my 2002 P5 engine and am looking for a direct replacement. Original engine had 162,000 miles on it. Been driving this since new and def don't want this to be the end of it! If anyone has a long block, let me know what you want for it. Thanks so much! -Justin

So I did a rebuild on my MSP and installed forged rods and pistons as well as had everything resurfaced. Well now I have everything together and the car will not start. So first I checked to make sure all the wires were correct and they were. Then checked the sparkplugs and they all spark. So I...

Has anyone cleaned the engine bay of their CX-5? I have not looked too much into it yet, just an idea. People typically recommend to cover electrical components, I was wondering if anyone had a nice picture/chart that would outline the important parts to protect and avoid water on for the CX-5...

My daughter's 2002 Mazda Protege5 runs well, unless it is hot weather. Then it will crank but not start. Turn key to first position, no engine lights, no clicks. (The radio and fan blower will turn on.) Gauges not working at all. Turn key to start position and engine cranks without...

I'm currently having a bit of an issue with things breaking on my car. I've had to pull the engine because of a spun rod bearing and every step along the way leads to yet another part I have to fix or replace (the under body is rusted pretty fierce in some spots). To the point, the factory roll...

Greetings fellow Mazdaites. Mazdans? (Mazda owners sounds too generic). I also hope this thread is in the correct place. To the point...I am currently ready to pull the engine from my 03 Protege LX w/auto tranny and would like some advice, hints, tricks, or whatever that could assist with the...

We need help because nobody knows whats cause it or even how to fix it. Last week, out of nowhere, around 5 indicator lights (BSM OFF, TCM OFF, battery, oil, seatbelt) on the dashboard turned on. I took it to the dealer service, they think it was because of the "after market" trailer hitch...
