What is the best shortblock to get quality (forged) parts in? I am skeptical of Cp-e shortblocks because they have K1 rods in them, and I have heard nothing but bad news from those. My rods are currently bent, and I figured this is the time to rebuild BIG. I want this engine to last me, and also...

Hello everyone. Just replaced alternator in 2006 Mazda5. Since the online info world sucks for Mazda5 How-to's I figured I would post here for anyone wanting to do this. Very easy and straight forward. Minimal tools needed and should not take long for anyone that likes to work on things...

The engine on my Mazda5 suddenly revs(races) with my foot on the brake. I have stopped at a light with my foot on the brake. The car stops normally. After about 3-5 seconds the engine suddenly revs and the car lurches forward. Applying the brakes harder does not help. The only way I can prevent...

Hi all. I just purchased a new-to-me 2010 CX-9 GT AWD with 25k miles. After scouring the forums, I'm starting to freak myself out that there might be a transfer case issue, but the symptoms don't really match up with what I'm reading on here. Anyway, when accelerating from a stop, and only in...

My mazda has ran fine no real issues to speak of, then one evening when getting in to drive home from work the car would turn over, fire off begin to idle then die but after about 3 times ran perfectly fine. Got home turned it off and it fired up no issue, next morning it was doing the same so i...

Hello 247 Its been getting quite cold here lately(-5/-10 C) and im experiencing a ticking noise from the 1.3 lt engine that disapears as soon as the engine gets up to temperature. I was thinking it might be a valve thing, bit considering the fact the this model uses a timing chain, im more...

Hi guys, i have a kn laser same chassis as a bj Mazda I am just after the location of the engine number It is a 1.8L Any help is appreciated, thankyou

I just had the head rebuilt, and as soon as I got it back together and running it threw a rod. Any suggestions on a new short block to get and where to find one? I figured I'd go big and get forged parts so this never happens again too.

I have a 2003 p5 with about 123,xxx miles on it and just the other day after driving over a small bump on the road something sounding like an exhaust leak was heard from the front of my car. It was strange as I always drive over these kinds of bumps/roads in the northeast, and it has never...

It's been a very bad week and I'm hoping this community can give me some advice. I have a 2008 CX-7 AWD with the 2.3L turbo, about 115K miles on it. On 11/8/14, while driving down the highway, the engine began making a high pitched whine. Didn't sound like a belt, didn't sound like anything...

Hi, I have a 2007 mazda 3. I feel there is something wrong with the transmission. When I drive the car the gear shift is not smooth and produces little jerks which I find strange for an automatic transmission. And when the car is cold putting it in reverse produces significant amount of jerks...

Me and my buddy have been trying to fix my protege for quite some time now but it wont turn over. When we turn the key on the fuel pump doesnt make a noise and when you crank the key we get no spark from the plugs but once I stop turning the key we get a spark. We think it may be an ECU problem...

Yesterday on my way to work, My car started acting up. giving loud noises from the engine. Limped it in to the work parking lot. I left the car running and took off the oil cap and got sprayed in the face with oil. Motor needs heavy work I am assuming since its loading up so heavy. Instead...
