1993 Mazda MPV - Page 4 Questions & Answers
No heat, changed the thermostat, no luck
If the thermostat is ok and you've got a full coolant level, next try touching the water lines going through the firewall to the heater core. Both lines should be hot to the touch. If only 1 is hot, you have a blockage in the system. If both lines are hot then you may need to replace your heater core. Also have a pressure test done on your cooling system before you go spend a lot of money because you may have a problem there which would prevent enough pressure from building up to push the hot coolant through to your heater core.
Disconect driver side air bag
Don't know what you have for a vehicle but there should be a fuse in your panel marked as such. just pull it out. It may cause a light on dash to illuminate too.
Rough idle
first verify plug wires you might have one crossed. get a wiring diagram and check each wire from the cap to the plug , cyl 1 to cyl1 ect. it is very easy to cross one. make sure the wires are on the cap correctly, make sure the cap is on correctly. any part store will give you a tune up print out showing cyl location plug wire timing ect. then you want to check everything is plugged in from vacuum lines to tps to mass air to map sensors . the car ran fine before this so its simple just retrace and look closely i bet there is 2 plug wires crossed or something is unplugged. just do one wire at a time from the cap to cyl. make sure your going the right way on cap. just get the tune up print out and retrace each wire.
Is there a diagnostic code "reader" on the Mazda MPV 1993?
I am having a similar problem and my mechanic thinks it's a fuel regulator. Part was ordered and it's being replaced this week. We'll see. Unrelated, I'm/we're having a heck of a time finding an oil pan...mine is very blistered....but it is 17 years old.
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.
