#41 of 3600 Water in Engine by blazer6767 Aug 18, 2000 (12:59 am)
I have a 1997 LX with automatic. A couple of weeks ago during a very heavy and wind driven rain while the car was parked on a hill water blew into the air filter. When I started the car the water got into the fuel injectors, cylinder heads, etc. Has any one else had this type of problem. The dealter insists that the car was flooded but there are no indications of this type of damage elsewhere in the car and there was no flooding in the area where the car was parked. Can anybody help??
#42 of 3600 Must've been one hell of a rain! by mdaffron Aug 18, 2000 (12:57 pm)
The first week I had my 2000 ES, I was on the Outer Banks of North Carolina during a Nor'easter. The rain was driving straight at me for 50 miles, and the wind was blowing about 40 miles per hour with 60 mph gusts! I know it was blowing hard, because I had to clean SAND out of my air filter housing and engine compartment it was blowing so bad. But the car never stuttered. MD

#46 of 3600 clunk by fritz1224 Aug 23, 2000 (3:23 am)
If you let the clutch pedal out quickly, there will be a slight "clunk" because of the clutch plate contacting the flywheel. Slowly releasing the pedal after shifts gives a smoother gear transition. I've been told by a mechanic that front wheel drive manual cars do not have a differential. Any knowledgeable people know if this is true?
#47 of 3600 Untrue... by bnormann Aug 23, 2000 (10:25 pm)
Most cars DO have a differential. It's just that on Front-Wheel-Drive cars it's buried inside the "transaxle" rather than being hung out between the rear wheels where you can see it, in it's own separate housing.      Bruce
#48 of 3600 differentials and clunking by doctorann Aug 24, 2000 (10:16 pm)
That clunk is probably not a big deal, unless it's accompanied by a loss of power or a hesitation... If it is, get the differential checked out.
#49 of 3600 lock problems by tb73 Aug 25, 2000 (2:40 am)
I own a 98 Mazda Protege LX. It has only 27k miles on it. In the past few weeks, each lock cylinder has become inoperable. It appears as if the protective plate that get's pushed in when you insert the key has broken off on each side, jamming the locks. Has anyone else experienced this?
#50 of 3600 differential by chikoo Aug 25, 2000 (5:00 pm)
"Most cars DO have a differential" you cannot run any 4 or more wheels vehicle without a differential. That's basic mechanical engineering..unless you have engines attached to each wheel seperately and control the RPM on each of them individually!!!
