misfires can be from electrics( HT leads -plugs -coil/s ) and also be from injectors ( low fuel pressure --dirty injectors -pulse problems --electronic). Run the codes to find if it is a random problem or a specific cylinder misfiring to point you in the right direction.

don't know if your vehicle even has a trans temp sensor. if it did it would be located internally inside the trans pan in valve body. check your trans fluid level, color, and smell. worn trans fluid will cause trans shift issues. burned trans fluid is an indication your clutches are burning and slipping.

After extensive searching and trial and error I found that the cause for the code 1518 on my mazda mpv was caused by the plastic clip that holds the linkage for the intake manifold runner had broke on the fire wall side and the linkage fell out causing the runner to stay open. It is very difficult to see. It is on the front( drivers side) of the engine below the upper intake manifold. Remove the air cleaner box and use a mirror and you can see it. Only about 6 inches long. Replace both clips while you are in there because it is a bear to get to. Check this first before you go through the other items like the egr. Inexpensive repair and my code 1518 and the one for randon miss fire went away never to return. Lots of power again. Good luck. Jim

That is usually a blend door problem. One of the doors is stuck in the cold position only. Happens a lot after a battery disconnect. Replace the rear blend door and that should solve your problem.

You probably have a plugged drain outlet for your under dash heater/AC unit....system is designed to drain moisture from AC evaporator core via the drain outlet...drain outlet is located under the hood Thru the firewall and is a (approx) 1/2" dia rigid plastic tube. Sticks thru, toward the rear of the engine, about 1". It's located so that it spills (nice!) onto the most rear engine/tranny mount. There's evident rust to prove it. Try to remove it and the water should pour out . Try to locate the drain by looking where the arrows are pointing to on the pictures I am supplying

Go to an Auto Parts store and look for the vehicle repair manuals for your year and model.

Why was this suggested? Did water get in it or another substance? If it's just been sitting in a safe place and it runs fine u should be ok. Go get some gas treatment and put it in there.
