Top 20 2005 Mazda 3 Questions & Answers

Help here in various sites. I presume you mean the rear wheel axle nut. https://www.google.com/search?q=2005+Mazda+2.+Rear+drum+brake+spindle+nut+torque ..

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 ..

no not compatible

check the air filter today, could be the issue.

possibly or a bad ground wire

I think that the drivers motor is on a separate fuse to the others because you can still make the drivers window go down after you turn off the ignition. Check the fuses.

first step is to have the fault codes read so that you have an idea of what is wrong next is to have the transmission oil changed as dirty oil will cause that sort of fault find an accredited service center with mazda experience or go to an accredited automatic shop for a service f the transmission it will be servo/solenoids or oil problems

The clutch is hydraulic, you need to replace the slave and master cylinder.

Possible bad connection on the battery?

Possible causes - Faulty Fuel Injector - Faulty Fuel Injector Interface Module - Fuel Injector harness is open or shorted - Fuel Injector circuit poor electrical connection

BOTH bolts are removed? Yes, sometimes they can stick. Usually light prying under the collar with a large screwdriver or fine tip prybar...NOT a large hammer preferably but some people dont mind beating up a known bad starter they are removing anyway..get the screwdriver between the bellhowsing and the starter collar and it should free up relatively easily. If you cannot make it move and you are certain you didnt leave one of the bolts in and accidentally remove a bolt NEXT TO one that holds the starter...you could also try spraying some WD40 or equivalent on the collar...that has been known to help.

From Wikipedia.. "The Mazda3 or Mazda 3 (known as the Mazda Axela in Japan) is a compact car manufactured in Japan by the Mazda Motor Corporation. It was introduced in 2003 as a 2004 model, replacing the Familia/323/Proteg?. A performance-oriented version of the Mazda3 is marketed as the Mazdaspeed3 in North America, Mazdaspeed Axela in Japan and the Mazda3 MPS in Europe. A second generation Mazda3 for the 2010 model year was unveiled in late 2008, with the sedan premiering at the Los Angeles Auto Show and the hatchback at the Bologna Auto Show. For the 2012 model year, Mazda began offering the Mazda3 with their newly developed SkyActiv technology, including a more rigid body, a new direct injection engine, and a new 6-speed transmission.[6] The current third generation was introduced in mid-2013 as a 2014 model." My guess is the transmission from 2004 to 2009 mike be cross compatible. I would go to Autozone and ask or call the parts department at department at a local Madza dealer.

This happens often if the car has been bumped, nudged, or touched heavily. Security sensors are operating normally. This happens to me if I haven't unlocked the doors prior to snow removal.

The fuse could be burnt out, the lighter coil could be burnt out, or the hot wire or ground could be loose.

If cleaning the sensor doesn't work a replacement is about $150. follow the link for more info http://www.autozmagz.com/search/2005+mazda+3+map+sensor+located

you will need to check all you fuses on the car its self and for the remote start system. also there is usually a switch to turn off the start function. the switch could be off or bad also. hope these few tips help. you could also have a loose wire to the starter or the relay could have went too. good luck.

In your owners manual Maybe under the hood on label On all parts & plug mfg sites They come gaped NGK shows .052 I found it,need to use the internet better

Yeap sure would but why will it snap, chains last along time I only replace a chain if it gets a bit stretched and starts to rattle and then I usually rebuild the motor, rings, bearings, valve grind, water pump and any thing else while its a part and looks like it needs a birthday, but if you just want to keep it going and compressions good and oil pressures good I have just done the chain to quiet it done and done thousands of miles with no problems every engines got its own problems to figure out. cya Neil

If you are using that much oil, you should either see smoke or oil. I would ask if you checked your oil for antifreeze or radiator for oil? That would indicate a blown headgasket.
