2006 Mazda Tribute 2.3L. HELP ME WITH THIS TRIBUTE FROM H*LL

Sitting for that long is bound to cause issues unfortunately. Clean the Throttle Body and MAF, clean or replace the Idle Air Control. Surging is often caused by air entering the system where is shouldn't and the ECM tries to compensate and causes the surging. Then take it for a good thrash down the highway for an hour! https://www.google.com/search?q=2006+Mazda+Tribute+2.3+IAC

What controls the low pressure fuel pump on a 2009 Mazda CX7?

I do not know the Mazda, but on most American cars, especially Fords that I am familiar with, it is normal that if you turn the key from OFF to ON (but not to start), the pump will only run for a second. It should run while cranking the car. This is a safety feature to shut off fuel in case of engine stall to limit fire hazard. In most systems, the fuel pump relay is controlled by the PCM (Powertrain Control Module). In some systems, the fuel pump relay is controlled directly by the ignition switch and there exists a fuel pump control module which is controlled by the PCM. My Taurus has this. This Fuel Pump Control Module varies the speed of the fuel pump. If you have 1 fuel line system (no regulator on fuel rale and not a 2 line fuel system (regulator on fuel rail and a fuel return line to the tank), you likely have one of these modules. You can carefully check the fuel pump by bypassing the fuel pump relay. Find the relay, unplug it and jump 12V to the fuel pump. If this is a Bosch type relay, the power and load pins are 30 and 87. If it is a Ford system (it may be as there is a relationship between Mazda and Ford), it may be pins 3 and 5. The bottom line here is that the PCM controls the fuel pump either through a relay or through a control module. Hope this helps. Best Regards, MrFixr55

1998 Mazda Soho 121, 1.3.How to bypass ignition when I lost a key

You can't, because the vehicle has an alarm and engine immobilizer that are all computer controlled by ECM, BCM and anti-theft module.. When the car was new, it came with 2 operational keys and 1 Valet key. The idea is that when you lose key 2, or you buy a car with one key, you have another made. You need an auto-locksmith for two new keys and programming. The only mentions of hotwiring are people here on Fixya. https://www.google.com/search?q=1998+Mazda+Soho+121%2C+1.3.How+to+bypass+ignition ..

2007 Mazda CX-7 2.3 disi turbo. Crank no start tachometer does not move when I try to turn the car over.. No RPMs. Help please

2.3 L MZR L3-VDT DISI turbo I4 contradicted at cranks no start and RPM zero. the starter spins the engine 300 RPM cranking but most dash tacho's are dead below 500. sure. Cranks ,then starts and then runs and for more than 10 seconds. that is a serial process on engines. it may start and stall at 10 seconds. no crank has 6 to 8 causes cranks fast but will not start has up 50 causes. we can not hear your starter spin here, nor see crank spin fast. we are blind and deaf (<< ask us is not easy/) lets go with cranks fast and will not start.( i chose it) well , key on and the IMMO lamp must nut be Unhappy per the lost users guide,in the glove box. the easy answer is this, using only physics, tests. using TOOLS 1: engine is dead. and compression or leakdown tests fail, compression below 150psion one or more cylinders.(4) 2: next is spark is 1 or more cylinder.s(all 4) a test, 3: bad fueling , non, or bad fueling, and pump sounds mean little none. pump pressure matters, another tool;. PSI watch,do and then ask better questions. cranks means only that the starter works and spins the engines crank shaft fast (keep the battery charged at all times on any dead car) the fuel dribble test only matters if DRY..a pressure gauge test is the only tool to use. for spec pressure.(ask) https://youtu.be/064Ilsz8Fzg

  1. Remove the right side driveshaft.
  2. Remove the cylinder block lower blind plug and install the special service tool or equivalent.
  3. Turn the crankshaft pulley to the clockwise until it stops.
  4. Using a straight edge, draw a straight line directly in the center of the ninth tooth of the crankshaft pulley pulse wheel (counting counterclockwise from the empty space).NOTE If the line is not accurately drawn, ignition timing, fuel injection and other engine control systems will be adversely affected.

2004 Mazda 6. 2.3 litre, 4 cylinder. I restricted the air flow in the filter box and it's running great.

no sure all that. but evidence, SO FAR: backfires to TB (back fires to induction path) never good that. and serious. engine misfires badly. owner simulates air cleaner clogged and it runs better. the fist test, ouch. RPM MAX 2000<<< limp home mode or just gross misfire. 19 YEAR OLD CAR NO SERVICE HISTORY POSTED CAM CHAIN SCREAMING FOR HELP?????????<<NOISE MAX? 19 year parts that fail are
  • maf dirty needs cleaning,never brush any hot wire MAF ever.
  • spark parts bad plugs and the wire sets. if not replaced 1 by one on that huge coil pack it will back wire for sure. oops. wasted spark rules can not be ignored !
  • bad thermostat overheated engine and valves burned./
  • fan belt bad or slips and waterpump fails. and overheats again
some DTC can not set and be seen unless you drive the car say 2000 rpmmax(LOL) around the block fully hot engine 180f to 200F temp, hot engine means normal hot engine, is it does it? and 19year old thermostats are NO GOOD. stuck open oops or the silly fail safe STAT stuck open and 150f is max. and stuck on cold start mode for ever and fouls spark plugs and misfires endlessly. I'd do a full engine compression test any 19yo car. gee it's old, 150psi and more and near equal x4 no miles told on car 200k miles 250k? seems too that engine ran worse before and was ignored and the CAT is melted, and 80% melted and engine can not pump air, as it should. we see that effect easy with a vacuum tool; gauge if vacuum is wrong, 20"hG steady or as you gun the throttle. vacuum works backwards with cat clogged. means partially clogged. if fully clogged engine is DEAD fully. this is just some tests. not a full set of tests ever, do I post, I could but refuse. NOW IF YOU OR OTHER PLAYED WITH 4 WAY COIL PACK HERE IS THE CURE. MUST BE WIRED THIS WAY ONLY. firing order is , 1,2,4,2 wasted spark. tech. block F1,2,3,4R front is at engine belt end. if wired wrong it will backfire horrid. grossly. 1 and 4 fire same time 2 and 3 same. time. only 2 coils inside to run 4. magic. 23-undefined-undefined-0.jpg

2005 Mazda 3. I was driving it, and it died and won't start again. I replace crankshaft sensor worked 2 days, now it's back to not starting?

Question edited for clarity and fix typos. Question moved to model category. You are subscribing to the "let's try replacing this" method of car repair. It doesn't work and is expensive. Your vehicle has a sophisticated computer system, and you just connect a professional grade scan tool computer to it and it will give you a code. The code tells you what is wrong, and from there you can search the fix. There was nothing wrong with the starter motor, fuses and relays can be tested. If your Crankshaft Sensor was made in China or in Mexico, 2 weeks can be the average lifespan on a faulty one! Only buy OEM Sensors as they are the most important parts of making your vehicle run efficiently. https://www.google.com/search?q=mobile+auto+electrician+near+me ..

Mazda B4000 high mount light fuse location


User
1998 mazda b4000 high mount light doesn't work. where is fuse located? not shown on manual.

ChatGPT
The high mount brake light fuse on a 1998 Mazda B4000 may not be shown in the owner's manual because it is often a shared circuit with other lights and accessories.

That being said, the fuse for the high mount brake light is typically located in the engine compartment fuse box or under the dashboard fuse box. Check your owner's manual for the exact location of the fuse box in your vehicle.

Once you locate the fuse box, look for a fuse labeled "STOP" or "CHMSL" (Center High Mount Stop Lamp) or "BRAKE" that is related to the high mount brake light. Use a fuse puller or needle-nose pliers to remove the fuse and check if it has blown.

If the fuse is blown, replace it with a new fuse of the same amperage rating. If the new fuse also blows, there may be an underlying issue with the wiring or the high mount brakelight assembly itself that will require further investigation by a qualified mechanic.

The AC takes a lot of power from the engine. Slip the belt off and see how freely the compressor turns. It should have some resistance, but not enough to slow the engine which also is trying to turn the alternator. There is also the possibility that your battery is failing, or the connections are not good starving the engine management of volts and amps..
