usually means an O2 sensor

What happens you never say??

run fault codes to find the faulty sensor and replace it.

Try taking the central control panel loose and spraying the switch with WD-40 to see if that fixes your problem. If it has been used often it may have residue build-up on the contact points in the switch and WD-40 will make it work again. Your remote activates the main control button inside the car so I think this should solve your problem.

You are having a problem with the anti-theft system. The transponder, inside the ignition key, isn't being correctly identified. Do you notice any lights on or flashing, on gauge cluster. You need to send the car to your local Mazda dealer, for diagnostics and repair. Let me know if this is what you were looking for and good luck.

I'm sorry for your problems but it seam you are just changing parts on a whim, could you tel me the idle rev speed. also when is the hesitating starting. there could be a few things wrong could be just down to a faulty wire. this simple. you say that when the fuel pump was changed the engine running was fine this could be down to the tank vent vale. you can save your self alot of money buy investing in a code reader you can buy them cheap online. other parts that can cause hesitating is leaking air line or lines on the engine. you can find these with a can of carb cleaner. get engine upto temp (normal running temp) then spray the can on the air lines, any change in engine revs or sound there is were the problem is. also spray around the manifold as this can cause the same problem you are having. hope this helps you

check your idle speed control motor the can play up and not pick the idle up once the car isnt accelerating if it does it more often if the air con is on i get that checked the lights on the dash come because the engine stops and the car goes back to ignition setting hope this helps and good luck

inside the bebt belastic cover

Well it could be a faulty sending switch, or the pressure really could be low. A mechanic would use a mechanical gauge to verify the problem. If it is low oil pressure, you may need another engine.

most likely needs a fuel filter and maybe a fuel pump

Has the vehicle drum brakes? Has the brake stuck because the vehicle has been parked for a while? If yes, the linings have just stuck to the drum, sometime just reversing the car will be enough to release it. If not remove rear wheels and bang the face of the drum with a hammer, Failing that the drums will have to come off by any means. (Slide hammer). Good Luck

IF you can get a owners hand book/ manual , the procedures for setting the code are explained . You may be able to down load a pdf copy of the book.

A manual control has the light on. On some cars, the control that dims and brightens the dash lights also can control the dome light.

These things are usually not connected. Check the fuse box, maybe a wire has been damaged.

sounds like you door light switch is either broken or out of adjustment. unfortunatly it could be on any of the doors, including the back hatch.

It has a timing belt. There's a Youtube on how to replace the timing belt for a 2002 Subaru Forester, if you're a self do'er. Your 2001 should be similar or exact to it.

May need to replace...but first try spraying a little PB Blaster on key and into key slot to lubricate...other solutions may damage...but PB Blaster will make cleaner connections and movement...Hope this helps.

Make sure when you changed the plugs thsat you did not cross any of the plug wires. if you put any wires in the wrong place you could do serious damage to the engine!

u need a shop manual-try the library--unplug computer and clean at the connection-it may work-------if idle air at issue--clean where the motor and passage is or replace if bad

Try your suggestion of resetting the cpu. Use a code reader for this as the cpu program was corrupted when you disconnected the battery
