engine

I bought myself a '94 MX-3 with a previous KLZE swap two weeks ago. Nothing was wrong with it when I test drove/bought it, except a reeaaally high idle (2100-2300rpm) which the previous owners said was due to chipping the engine, and a real rich running problem, one so bad I got a headache...

So today i was driving when i noticed this funny raspy sound coming from me mazda. i thought it sounded like it was an exhaust leak at first. i asked my boss to listen and he immediately was like oh my gosh dude have you checked your oil?? upon checking the oil after letting the car sit for an...

I have a 03.5 MSP and i have a cracked exhaust manifold and i cant find a stock Callaway one anywhere. So i just need advice on a good after market exhaust manifold i can get for my car. Im 17 and this is my first car so i dont know much about it. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I am wondering if you can put on the exhaust manifold gasket on the wrong way? It has these little metal tabs on the top of it should they be pointing towards the engine or the front of the car? It installs both ways. I also have a leak on cylinder one... is my manifold cracked...

Hello all, The last few weeks I've noticed that sometimes when I am braking to slow down the car to make a turn, it seems and sounds like the engine is racing as if I had it in neutral and was putting my foot on the gas. This is a 2013 automatic touring in Drive. Has anyone else noticed...

Sorry in advance if someone else has covered this but I couldn't find any info on the subject, I have an 02 Mazda protege5 2.0 and recently it has started burning oil, quite a bit. It always burned a little on start up but stopped not long after so I assume its valve stem seals and now their...

Like title says my passenger motor mount is out for sure, probably the others as well and i think i'll just replace all 3. I'm not heavy into performance mods or anything just want something that will end vibration, last a long time, and not super expensive. So what do you guys recommend? I...

Hello, So I was doing my timing belt and borrowed a friends torque wrench which apparently didn't work since I heard no Clicks and the end result is I tore a bolt off in the waterpump when I was tightening it :( Any recommendations? I am ready to scrap this car I'm so pissed. Will I have to...

Hello everyone, I went to the search bar to find my answer and either I'm really bad at looking or it's not there. But anyway, I wanted to know if parts from the MSP engine like the headers and things like that are compatible with the engine parts from an MP5. It may seem like a noob question...

I have a 2007 Mazda3 2.0L w/ 71,000 miles and have been experiencing a rough idle. Eventually the check engine light came on. I had a mechanic run a diagnostic test and code P0300 came back (random misfire). Upon further inspection, he recommended I replace these items: Crank position sensor 4...

I have been getting my oil analyzed randomly. This last oil change report came back with elevated sodium & calcium. In the report they mentioned that it is not serious enough to cause damage at this time; however I am concerned about this. My CX7 only has 25,000 miles on it. This vehicle...

My first post here on this forum community which looks very active! A bit of backstory... I bought this vehicle from a friend it's a Canadian car has been exposed to our salty roads. Recently the timing belt broke while being started on the driveway. I heard these are none interference...
