Replying to: wmmylesjr (Dec 17, 2008 11:00 am) I have no idea. And I believe no one could give an accurate answer to this question. Have the 'code' pulled that is setting the check engine light. Independent auto parts stores do this for free - Autozone, etc.

Replying to: wmmylesjr (Dec 17, 2008 11:00 am) 1. Disconnet the Negative cable to the battery. 2. Remove & rescrew in the gas cap until it "clicks" 3. Add some coolant to the overflow container. 4. Reconnect the Negative cable to the battery. The above should be done when the engine is cold, preferably before you start it up the first time in the day. The above has worked for me after it has been in the shop.

Replying to: MegGwen (Dec 20, 2008 12:01 pm) What exactly couldn't they figure out? You have a switch that works on low beam but not high beam? Forgive me if I'm missing something, but I see an obvious solution here.

Replying to: MegGwen (Dec 20, 2008 12:01 pm) Sounds to me like it could only be the high beam switch, nothing else I know of can prevent high beams other than switch. Replies to this message: kiawah (Dec 21, 2008 8:22 am)

Replying to: wealthwarranty (Dec 20, 2008 2:45 pm) or a headlight relay............possibly even a fuse, if low beams are fused differently than high........all depends how the lights are wired. A number of vehicles use a DRL relay to wire the high beams in series (effectively cutting the voltage in half), as a Daytime Running Light. Then when they want them to run as a true High Beam, they'll flip the relay back and wire the bulbs in parrallel so that they get full voltage. One set of burnt points in the relay, will mess it up.

My 2001 Mazda Millenia's rpm's are running a little fast. It's a 6 cylinder with a little over 100,000 miles. Any idea how to correct this problem? Thanks in advance! Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Dec 27, 2008 2:22 pm) jeb7 (Dec 27, 2008 5:22 pm) Mr_Shiftright (Dec 27, 2008 5:41 pm)

Replying to: jeb7 (Dec 27, 2008 2:13 pm) There is an Air Adjusting Screw you can turn. DO NOT turn the Throttle Adjusting Screw which is attached to the device operated by the throttle cable. Varying your engine timing will also affect the idle speed. Replies to this message: jeb7 (Dec 27, 2008 5:22 pm) Mr_Shiftright (Dec 27, 2008 5:41 pm)

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Dec 27, 2008 2:22 pm) Can you tell me what my rpm's should be when I'm driving 70 mph? It's a 2.3L engine. Thanks so much for all your help! Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Dec 27, 2008 5:41 pm)
