1993 Mazda MPV - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

They are on the outside edge of each cylinder head.

fairly easy ,now remember iam not familar with this engine iam not a dealer mechanic but a back street cowboy ,leave pistons half way down ,remove no 1 spark plug .now turn cams for no1 so the inlet and the exhaust are pointing up at a angle about 20? to the left and the right of the top of the movement .the inlet should be to left and the exhaust to the right .now look at them marks again and maybe they line up with a straight edge through the centre line of the gears.also check out google like everyone else does for the timing marks as they may be on the end of the camshafts .Dont think this engine is valve free ? but again check it as i seem to remember a customer having one and belt broke and i just stuck a new one on .Sorry getting old dinasaur now and cannot remember as well .

Possible engine coolant temp sensor telling ecu it's -40 so it's putting to much fuel in

do mean a frost plug not to sure bout that whats the year of your car it will most probs be a alloy pipe or metal pipe that runs under your manifold they tend to corrode a bit sometimes stopleak works but if hole is to big you will have to replace it hope this helps ya

have your ac compressor check and your alternator as well.check the tension on your fan belt it be loose

Your CRANKSHAFT SENSOR or CAMSHAFT SENSOR went bad and now you have no REFERENCE ZERO for it to start,,,,, No Signal to start the Electrical Spark Process... Replace your Sensor, your car will start..

Should be in the air intake hose between the air filter and the throttle body.

www.rockauto.com has your part.

Can't find anyone to look @ it for FREE? Likely the head gasket is blown and expect to pay $1500+ to fix it. Sorry for the bad news.GL,Td

On most models you pour the fluid into the tube where the dipstick is.

Too low fuel pressure. Try spraying starting fluid while someone else cranks it. If it runs, you need fuel pump

What about this?

Timing chains and belts stretch over time and must be replaced,,realitively inexpensive on a 1993 anything

First you need to disconnect the battery. Then you can start disconnecting the starter wires. Then unbolt the starter and pull it out. Installing is just the opposite. Thanks,Leon

i have mpv myself it is the spedo cable needs replacing or re lubricated

check your timing belt it may be broken

vacume leak check all hoses for cracked or worn out

don't think there is but check manual for your car
