[nuffkuff]

[villain]

checked cam sensor and crank sensor yet?

[mingrio]

Had the same "pak pak" problem and changed same parts even the cam and crank sensor,the problem was the previous owner had wired over the car for whatever reason zhiva and mazdamig laughed they belly full when they tried to help me out thanks by the way.The best thing to do is to change out everything dat is what i did.

Boy same thing happen to my car recently, I know now It was the coil pack that had your car working like sheit. How the car working now btw?

[Computerman]

it have a mazda club but they not too bj or n/a friendly...

No no no... we just not 'villan' friendly!

Everyone with a Mazda is welcome... but most don't have the 'belly' fuh we 'low brow' humour.

[villain]

true that you have to have a "belly" to join....lol

[nuffkuff]

i changed the cam shaft sensor,i bought 1 by bobby's in d bamboo ,same thing i suppose i have to change the crankshaft sensor now,i had bought the substitute coil packs by bobby's those only lasted 6 mths,i now using some foreign used ones they seem to be workn good,is only that damn pak pak holding back problem, i wanna mashout n leave man too.

[villain]

well them sport20 men reporting that they never change coil pack....so i was thinking taking their own and replace the bottom half of theirs with one from ours ( the part going to the spark plugs are longer than ours) and see how that works

[nuffkuff]

hmmm that sounds like a damn good idea,i might just try that myself.

[villain]

an original sport20 coil pack is 1200.....

[nuffkuff]

a bit pricey 1200 hmmm i go stick wit the foreign used 4 now

[mazdamig]

nuffkuff, do a Diagnostic on the car.

[klyman]

Your problem could be a crack or leak in the plug wires, i have seen this many
times before. the best way to confirm this is to pull each plug one by one while the car idling.If the car sputters more than usual then its not that plug.
Also using foreign used coil packs are a no no. trust me the amount of gas,money and time i wasted on those things will surprise you.

fellas help me out here i went by street concepts in arima to put in a cold air intake to get a lil more hp nah,but those guys said that 323's check light does come on because of the extra airflow is this a common problem?

[Zorak]

aye fellas. I've been having a similar problem for a while. I've got the 1.5 ZL, no engine swap or anything so all wiring should be good.
my problem is: a rough idle and when slowly accelerating from stand still that's when it seems like it wants to cut off and I hear a backfiring sound coming from the front sometimes. If I just mash out I'm gone, no problems. But I think it's once the RPM is under 1000. Acceleration once moving is no problem, when in either auto or activematic works fine.

Changed the coil packs but at first it seemed to be working better, but within a week I'd say it was working like crap again.

From your suggestions I'm seeing cam and crank sensors as other possible culprits. How should I check these? or should I just leave it to the mechanic?

[red bwoy]

couple of things to look for from my experience ....is it happening when the car get hot if so check /change temp sensor clean radiator put some coolant if it happening cold after you checked changed coil packs and sensors reset the ecu also check /clean /replace air flow sensor and throttle body if yuh still gettin de problem after that call god he might have the answer lol

[Zorak]

red bwoy, thanks for the advice! i think it happens or is more noticeable when the car is cold. Will have to take special notice of that. any idea of the prices those different sensors cost?

[Groovemaster]

I wonder how much for a throttle body with sensors?

ok padna spray out yuh throttle body with throttle body cleaner and clean yuh airflow meter with a electronic cleaner it work for me

hi,i recently changed my tranny fluid,about 5 days after the hold light keeps flashing n gears not changing, need answers plz.thks.

[mety57]

my parts place guy was saying that there r 2 types of fluid for that tranny i had that same problem but like when the fluid gets a little thinner it does stop

[Groovemaster]

use the honda tranny oil ...it has a better viscosity and goes a longer mileage than the mazda tranny oill.....

USE REDLINE D4 ATF TRANSMISSION OIL IN YOUR BJ TRANSMISSION, THERE'S ALSO MOBIL 1 SYN. ATF THAT'S MAZDA M-V COMPATIBLE!!!!

[Groovemaster]

Well use the Mobil1 synthetic ATF that's mazda M-V compatible!!!

check ur timing again
