2005 Mazda MPV LX Questions & Answers
Need help running amp wire to battery
If your looking for a route to run the wires follow the existing wiring loom through the firewall. The loom uses pre-drilled holes with rubber inserts so you won't have to drill any new holes. You can use small zip ties to secure it to the bundle of wires on the loom to keep thing tidy.
Vehicle is hesitating, like it is going to cut off.
There are a few things that can cause an engine misfire and hesitation. Does your van have a CoP ignition system? (Separate ignition coils for each spark plug) Or coil pack? You may have bad ignition coil(s); that would cause a misfire. If you have a dirty/clogged/leaky fuel injector for cylinder 3, that could also cause a misfire condition. When you replaced all the spark plugs, did you look at the plug from cylinder 3? Did they all look the same? Sometimes you can get clues to what is going on in your cylinder by how the spark plug looks: if it's white or glazed you are running too lean and could indicate fuel injection problem, if it's got burnt oil on it and it's sludgy you may have a leaky gasket or worn piston ring that is letting oil up into the combustion chamber and fouling the plug, causing a misfire. If your check engine light comes back on and it's the same misfire code, have the coil for cylinder 3 checked to see if it's weak or bad. Or you can do a home remedy check and swap a known good ignition coil from another cylinder to 3, reset the code, and see if the misfire moves to another cylinder. If it does, you know the coil is bad. You can pick up an ignition coil for pretty cheap on the internet ($30-$70) if that's the problem and they're simple to install (a pain if they're on a cylinder that's under the intake manifold, but just because you have to unbolt a bunch of stuff to get to it...time consuming but not too difficult). I have a 2001 Mazda Tribute and had a couple of ignition coils go bad, causing misfires. This seems to be a semi-common problem for early 2000's Mazdas.
Shift shock
Shift shock??? You need to be more specific.
The side door to a mazda mpv lx 2005 wont go up?
Did something get spilled on the window switch?:) If no noises and now just wont go up...does the window motor make a sound when trying to lower? If not, probably the switch is defective. You can have an auto electric shop, or good mechanic test the switch...or if you have access to a guaranteed used switch from a salvage yard or internet...changing this switch should restore the operation. The window motor or regulator could be defective...but usually the switch is the first problem...if something was spilled onto the switch, you can try a hair dryer to dry out, and retry...Hope this helps.
Change speedo face on mazda bongo
REMOVE AND REPLACE SPEEDO FACE
How to remove the speedo face
Undo the 4 screws that hold the black cover in front of the speedo. Pull the cover off. Undo the 4 screws that hold the instrument cluster. Lift out the cluster. Disconnect the 2 or 3 mulit-plugs from the back. Remove the black panel that hold the glass (push clips). If you don't have the proper tool, use 2 metal spoons to lift the needle from the speedo face. You use the bowl of the spoons on the needle and press on the handles. (It's easier than it sounds.) Undo the 2 screws that hold the speedo face on. Lift it off. Fit the new face.
How to zero the needle on a new speedo face
Fit the speedo unit (without the glass) back into the dash, with all wires connected into the back of it.
Don't fit the needle-stop post to the speedo face yet.
Switch the ignition on. Fit the needle in the zero position.
Now fit the stop-post and glass.
Where is the location of ac expansion valve on 2002 mazda
On a 2002 Protege, you access the expansion valve by removing the glove box and the evaporator case on the passenger side. Two ac lines are disconnected in the engine compartment, two bolts and two electrical plugs and the evaporator case slides out.
2006 LX. Runs fine but what is causing a clicking/flapping sound?
This is one of those where you need to play detective. Check the silly stuff first. Is it a piece of loose body trim or a loose mud flap rattling as you drive along? Is it a decorative 'stick on' accessory like a window flag flapping? Is there something stuck under the vehicle like a tree branch or a bit of trash you've driven over.
Is it a 1, 2 or 3 clicking sequence then nothing, or is it more of a constant 'machine gun' click. Start the vehicle when the engine is cold and listen for the noise. Let the engine sit at idle until it is up to working temperature, (About 10 to 15 minutes from totally cold). DON'T rev the engine! Is the noise there when it's cold or does it start when the engine has warmed up?
Does the noise happen only when driving, only while parked or both? Does it change with road speed, (faster when you press the gas and in gear, and slows when you brake), or with engine speed, (Put it in neutral and gradually press the gas pedal while you listen for any change in the noise)? Does cornering affect the sound? Use the comment button below and I'll see what extra help I can give you.
