If that was the only change that was made to the heating system by adding a stop leak then very probable that a part of the heater core has been plugged up with the additive. Unusual that it would affect only one of the vents but quite possible. There is not a way to change the heat level to individual ducts on that model vehicle mechanically.

Hope this helps

Dealer item. If you can fabricate it from copper, Yes it will work. It will last longer than the tube they use.

Go to mpvclub.com, very detailed instructions there.

Best case is you accidentally left the AC switch on... Check for pinched/bent hoses near firewall of passenger side. Worst case is the heater core is clogged. In this case someone can backflush the heater core to clear it. Good luck!

No, not the ECM. Replace the alternator. The ECM fields/grounds the alternator to work. The ECM monitors the voltage and sets the light if voltage is to low or to high. Since it puts out 16+ volts the ECM is still working. The regulator in the alternator is bad.

I recently changed my brake light and all you need to do is remove two phillips screws from the brake panel light then carefully pry the corner using hard flat object to gain access to the light bulb.

HAVE THE CAT CHECKED

The clicking you hear is the vehicle asking for the program sequence to reprogram the locking system. Apparently something threw it out of sequence, ( a battery change , jumpstart, voltage spike , etc). The programming sequence that mazda uses is really kinda crazy. I was able to locate the sequence to try. If it does not work have the dealership flash the pcm, (another word for reprogram the powertrain control module). Here is the sequence: 1) Get in MPV with ignition key, and all fobs for the vehicle. 2) Close all doors and remove ignition key if it is in ignition. 3) Open driver's door Note: Steps 4 and 5 must be completed in under thirty seconds. 4) Repeat the following three times a) Insert ignition key b)Turn ignition switch to on and then to lock c) Remove ignition key 5) Repeat the following three times a) Close driver's door b) Open driver's door Locks should all lock and then unlock within a couple of seconds--you'll hear the clicking sound 6) Press any button two times within five seconds on fob being programmed. Locks should again lock and unlock 7) Repeat step 6 for all other fobs being programmed. When done with last fob, wait a few seconds and then you should be done with the reprogramming. Each fob should now work for this vehicle.

This is not possible, Benzene is a component in gasoline but it cannot be isolated. The odor that you smell is something else.

Did you change the ignition cables as well? Ignition cables are made of carbon fiber conductors. They may look ok from the outside, but as they get older the carbon fibers get brittle and minute cracks form in the silicone jackets that lets moisture in. How many miles to you have on it? You may be due for new spark plugs also.

get the OBD codes read as not always will through up the CEL , i expect you may have jarred something , maybe an o2 sensor so would result in non start ( as an example )
