Replying to: milleniaslave (Nov 11, 2008 12:33 am) Why not call it a day? The car isn't worth $7K. 29 mpg on the interstate is good. 12-18 isn't so hot, but you can buy a LOT of gas for the repairs you are contemplating. If it is running ok, don't worry about it. You have already spent too much money on this nine year old car, so get some mileage out of it. Next time, drive a harder bargain (these cars did not sell well and have poor resale), and have it gone over mechanically before you sign. Good luck.

2000 millenia s 95000 miles. Changed the plugs found the typical oil in the oil wells. Changed the valve cover gaskets which took us 8 hrs to do but saved over $600. Also changed the 2 of the 02 sensors couple of years ago. Now I have this p0431 code which indicates the catalytic converter. I might not replace that until the gas mileage gets really bad. Will this hurt anything else? great car just expensive when somthing goes out. anyone changed out the timing belt themselves? Replies to this message: bayareadave (Dec 24, 2008 12:06 pm)

Replying to: soloflight98 (Dec 24, 2008 10:14 am) I have read about changing the timing belt on another forum. I read a technical guide the guy added about his experiences. Access is the key issue. Remove the steering pump. He said he had to cut the rear timing belt cover in half to get it out. He said he had to raise the engine to get at the alternator tensioner bolt, but it would be better to drill a hole in the frame so you could always get it out without raising the engine I think. Other than that, it is just a matter of getting a manual and following the steps.   Wildman 99 Millenia S San Francisco, California

I have a 2001 Millenia with a 2.3L engine. At what RPM should it be running while traveling at 70mph?

I have a 2001 Millenia S and have recently discovered I need a new/repaired Lysholm Compressor and have been given an estimate of $4,200.   The vehicle has 112k miles and I am not sure the vehicle is worth that much, prior to this there have been no major problems.   Is this worth repairing or is it a sign of more to come?

Replying to: Bona92 (Dec 31, 2008 5:03 am) How did they diagnose the s/c going out? Have you changed out the timing belt mazda gave me a quote of 1200 CRAZY. If you do change the s/c you should replace the valve cover gaskets also since you are in there. Replies to this message: Bona92 (Dec 31, 2008 7:38 am)

Replying to: soloflight98 (Dec 31, 2008 7:14 am) I have changed the timing belt just recently actually, they looked at the S/C but the biggest signs were burning oil and an incredible amount of exhaust at startup and any time during acceleration

Replying to: milleniaslave (Nov 11, 2008 12:33 am) What kind of gas are you using, have you changed your fuel filter? It could be your IAC ( Ilde Air Control valve). It cost too!! $450.00

Replying to: Bona92 (Dec 31, 2008 5:03 am) Yea, thats a tough call and the price sounds about right, unless you plan on doing the work yourself. How many more miles do you expect to get out of the engine? 140K? 160K? You may want to consider replacing with a used, low mileage engine - you may even be able to have that done for less money.
