Use the scan tool to determine the fault
low fuel pressure sounds like a candidate for the problem followed by crank position sensor but the scan of the faults will get closer to the rpoblem

Testimonial: "Coincidently, I found the chock breaker vacuum line was disconnected yesterday. Can't wait to put it all back together. Thanks. "

SOURCE: intermittent problem. Truck ran fine

Check for sticking idle air control valve and stuck open EGR valve. Both are common causes for very rough engine operation due to fuel-air ratio being too far off. Also check for large vacuum leak such as from rubber hoses connecting PCV valve to intake. Feel around for squishy or oily rubber which would indicate a leaking hole in the rubber hoses.

Mazda Protege 2001 2.0 standard; cat was heating up due to bad coil connector, (3 wire plug at coil), go figure, in any event, car idles irratically and exhaust sputters at idle, has plenty of power though...

Check intake tube for split & check for vacume leak. you can do this by spraying aerostart around vac lines & intake tube / manifold when car idleing. If leak detected the RPM will increase. does it **** up hills?

P0420 p0171

P0420 (emission) possibe o2 sensor, bad catalitic converter, exhaust leak, cool temp sensor, misfire etc...P0171 = too lean (not get enough fuel) poss cause air flow sensor which is normally on the air intake tube this can also cause the other fault. You first need to check the clamps are tight on the air intake tube yu replaced. then spray aerostart around intake tube & listen for change of revs. also listen for any sucking noise around motor (Vacume leak) if think detected spray aerostart around that area to see if revs change.

Motor back fire when reving up timing on the marks , it will idle for +- 20 seconds and then stop mazda 1600i b6 1996 model

You have to really put some pressure on the timing belt tensioner,then tighten it down, make sure that belt is tight. then check your marks. You got them close because it runs, it's because on some models the belt has to be tight to get the marks to line up perfectly.

My daughter's 2003 Mazda Tribute sometimes won't stay running. It will start but when you take your foot off the gas it stalls. She's had it towed home and then it starts right up!

if when running it runs well apart from idle problem i would suggest you have the throttle body and idle speed control valve cleaned out and add a fuel system cleaner to fuel tank also check wireing to idle speed control valve

2002 Mazda Tribute V6 difficult to start.

IT SOUNDS LIKE THE IAC VALE OR IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE IS BAD, WHAT YOU CAN DO IS TAP ON THE VALVE. IT IS LOCATED ON THE INTAKE RIGHT BEHIND THE THROTTLE BODY, JUST TAP ON THE SILVER PART WITH THE BACK OF A SCREW DRIVER A COUPLE OF TIMES. THIS SHOULD UNSTICK THE VALVE AND YOUR TRIBUTE SHOULD RUN. THEN IT IS JUST A MATTER OF REPLACING THE VALVE. YOU CAN GET THEM FROM ANY AUTO PARTS HOUSE.

4x4 ute starts, idles, revs fine, but while driving, acceleration above 2500revs the cars jumps and hops and i have to take foot off accelerator

Check if your vehicle uses points in the ignition, if it does they sometimes break the earthing wire inside distributor advancer plate (Where the points screw onto)
This gives the symptom you describe.
Sorry but it difficult to be more accurate in diagnosing the cause of your problem without a very detailed description of whats happening.
All the best MMP

Mazda mpv engine idle problem

I had the same problem with my 2002 MPV. I ended up removing the IAC Idle are-control myself, and cleaning it really well (with some air intake cleaner). Put it back together, and it's been running great for the past year.

Not too difficult of a project, I'm no mechanic, but if your good with tools, it's not to bad.
