05 mAZDA 6 - ENGINE BEGAN SURGING THEN IT WOULD STALL USUALLY ABOUT 1500 RPMS. mazda dealership said sounded like computer so we brought one and it didn't fix it. It stayed in the shop for 6 weeks and they kept saying it was electrical but it would not throw a code. Next they said it might be the throttle body. It had not been touched in 2 weeks so we brought it home. Engine runs good and cranks good.

First -for it to record a fault the car has to be run for some time --15 minutes or 50 miles because intermittent faults are not always recorded
as an example consider this
on your phone you have a pin number
now if you press the incorrect numbers 2 times nothing happens and you can start again next day
( in the car it is like you pressing the numbers 2 times = no code)
however press the incorrect number 3 or more times , you need a PUK code to get back in
( in the car pressing the wrong number too many times = to a code now being reported)
carefully record when it stalls ( at lights with the foot on the brake), changing down ratios when slowing down) surging on acceleration--rpm reading is critical or deceleration --road speed and engine rpm correlation
fuel level situation when it occurs ( full , partially full or close to empty)
from you statement, I would suggest that you put a can of quality injector cleaner in the tank on filling for a couple of fills as it indicates an injector/s problem and that will not record a code unless a cylinder misfires for a set period of time
it is easier to do the simple things first then have the codes read by an accredited service shop that has experience on your make of car

SOURCE: engine light on 2002 mazda protege is on even after changing o2

Try cleaning the Mass Airflow (MAF) Sensor. My 2002 Protege check engine light came on and it started stalling at stoplights if I didn't keep the engine revved a little. Manager at AutoZone checked the computer code for the light (P0171?), and it said it was running lean. He suggested I try the MAF sensor cleaner they have ($6.99) rather than replacing the 02 sensor, etc.; it made a *significant* difference. (I think I need to do it again to get it totally cleaned out, but the can is for at least 4 cleanings.) The MAF sensor is the large component that air goes through right after the air filter. If you don't have the repair manual for the car (search online for PDF's), you search for the part online to see what it looks like. Mainly, it's a tube about 4" across with some small wire things inside. The cleaner can said it was a 10 minute job; mine took 20 minutes, but only because the tube leading from the MAF sensor to whatever is next (a kind of bent elbow tube, with a couple of accordian-style ripples) tore, and I had to duct-tape that up to seal it. (Still haven't gotten that replaced - found them online for ~$40. Maybe this weekend...)

They're charging you for it? Since your car's only 2 years old, they should be covering it under warranty. Timing Chains don't break normally, and when they do, usually it's on a much older car. Mazda should be covering the costs for this under the power train warranty (which is good for 48 months or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first)

mazda 6
Mazda since 2002, replacing the long-produced Capella/626.
and
The 626 replaced the 616/618 and RX-2 in 1979 and was sold through 2002, when the new Mazda6 took over as Mazda's large family car. 4,345,279 of the 626 and Ford Telstar models were sold worldwide.

post real car model names and real engine size first and even country the car was delivered to first or the VIN that tells me all that.

I have a 19999 Mazda B2500. The idle is very rough and when you step on the gas pedal the engine surges between idle and about 1500 RPM. It can best be described as acting much the same as the governo

it sounds like a lambda sensor issue, the lambda sensor is located on the exhaust manifold, it controls the emisions, it also controls the air/fuel mixture to control the emisions, if it is faulty it could cause the engine to surge like you describe

I have a 2000 Mazda B4000. about a week ago it began starting harder and harder. Now I have to press down on the accelerater pedal slightly to get the engine to start. I have to keep the pedal pressed...

this is usually due to plugs and wires, but if thats not it try replacing the coilpack/s also.
Another thing check your fuel filter it might be a bit clogged.

not sure the gas had much to do with it. sounds like a blown head gasket. what is the colour of the oil. gray often indicates fluids have leaked into it. white smoke out the tailpipe generally indicates a blown head gasket as well.

A 92 Mazda mx3 with a 1.8ltr v-6 while at an idle goes from 1500 rpms to 900 rpms and back up and down but not while driving, how do I get it to idle correctly

change the idle air control motor and check to see if the ports are clogged, this too will cause surging idle. the idle air control motor is located on or near the throttle body

1997 Mazda Protege: Engine has clicking noise when idling.

Check to see if the valve lifters are not making the noise. Turn on the engine and rev it up to about 1500 rpms and see if the clicking is coming from the valve cover area.
