#1783 of 1853 Re: "Break-in" period [tjrob] by peterlt Sep 27, 2006 (8:54 pm)
Replying to: tjrob (Sep 03, 2006 12:39 pm) The most important thing is to vary the speed during the first 2,000 miles. I believe in changing oil and filter at the first 1,000 miles. When you get to your destination, let the engine have a chance to cool down a bit before you shut it down. If your final destination is a mile or two from the freeway and you can slow down during that period, that would work just fine. After a couple of thousand miles, let her rip.   Forget what the book says. Change oil and filter every 3,000.   I've owned 97 cars and all of the above worked great for me. Besides I was a professional mechanic for 23 years.

#1785 of 1853 We need your help! by tidester HOST Oct 15, 2006 (10:44 pm)
Hi, everyone. As you've probably noticed, we have been trying to refine the discussions into more narrowly focussed topics. Our objective is twofold. We want to make it easier for people seeking specific information about their vehicles to find it easily and without having to wade through hundreds or thousands of postings.   To those ends, we will be shutting down the general make/model discussions and work exclusively with specific issues. This requires us to populate the make/model subsections with relevant, interesting and timely topics. Rather than having the hosts simply create boilerplate topics for each make/model, we feel that you, the owner, the make/model enthusiast and the prospective buyer can best judge what those topics should be.   You can help by adding a discussion (it's easy!) or suggesting one here.   To add a discussion, click on the last link in the "You are here" line at the top of this page. That will take you to the topic page for this make/model. Review the list of topics and click on the "Add discussion" link when you've decided what topic you'd like to add. Follow the directions and you're done! Feel free to add more than one. Just avoid duplicating existing topics and try not to make it TOO specific!   Your help and continued participation in the Forums is greatly appreciated! Thanks.

#1788 of 1853 Re: 2001 Idling out of control [01owner] by davanc1 Nov 25, 2006 (9:08 pm)
Replying to: 01owner (Oct 05, 2005 6:48 am) Dear Fellow Tribute owner, I am having the exact same problem where the idle just shoots up out of control and I have to turn my car off as fast as i can. I just got my PCM replaced and my throttle cable replaced because that's what the mechanic is saying is wrong with it, it has costed me over 1000 dollars and it still has not fixed the problem. I am at my wits end with what to do. I was wondering if you have found a solution yet. I am about to almost give up and get a new car!!!
#1789 of 1853 Idlling out of control by davanc1 Nov 25, 2006 (9:12 pm)
Can anybody help me? I have a tribute 2001 and I have had the PCM replaced, throttle cable, and even put in a new battery to try and fix my problem. The car is reving up out of control when placed in park. I have to shut off my car as fast as I can before it happens. The mechanics replaced the PCM saying for sure that it would fix the problem and it hasn't I am up to my ears in bills on trying to fix the problem. Does anybody else have the same problem that can give me a solution???
#1790 of 1853 re:fast idle by zoom_ute Nov 28, 2006 (12:37 pm)
davanac1, did they also replace the idle bypass control valve/solenoid? That should have been the first part to check/replace in my opinion, not the $$$ PCM. Seems to be somewhat common with Tributes/Escapes, and Fords in general.
#1791 of 1853 2008 Mazda Tribute/ CX-5 by matthattan1587 Jan 12, 2007 (10:29 am)
Hey guys I was wondering if anyone knew when the new 2008 Mazda Tribute/ Cx-5 is going to be in dealerships. I heard rumors about this spring, but I am not sure of the exact time. I think the new look of the Mazda Tribute is sweet looking, as they have improved the front grille and interior a lot. Hope to hear back soon.   -mm Replies to this message: audia8q (Jan 12, 2007 1:18 pm) aviboy97 (Jan 23, 2007 12:28 pm)

Replying to: matthattan1587 (Jan 12, 2007 10:29 am) We have some 2008 Tributes built waiting to be shipped. I suspect they will do a quality check hold before shipping to make sure things are in order....I'm expecting the first one by mid Feb if things stay on schedule. Also, It's still the Tribute. The CX-5 name is being saved for something else...but I did hear a rumor about a 3 based cross over, so think CX-3 ?!?! Replies to this message: aviboy97 (Jan 23, 2007 12:28 pm)
