Mazda3 is getting broken into a lot by disabling the alarm. The police didnt go into too much detail since at this point, in that area it's kinda isolated. However, the cop from the auto theft division wrote Mazda Canada
 
I find it curious that the show said it's isolated and yet it's happening a lot. How was the defect explained? Which police force wrote Mazda?

The police force was in Victoria British Columbia Canada. I find it ridiculous to think how naive they are to believe that this is isolated!!

Trouble Code P2188 - system running rich by mazdazoom

Hey Guys,
          I had this P2188 error code and since I did not want to pay the dealer an arm and a leg to fix it I figured I would try it myself. You will need part number PN - BNYP-67-SH0 from the dealer ($5). Unplug the negative terminal. In the wiring harness that plugs into the Mass Airflow Sensor there is a black lead, you need a pin extractor or a very fine point to slide in and remove the lead/plug. Once the black wire is out you cut it, splice in the new one from the kit and solder it together.
 
Put the heat shrink jacket on and use a heat gun to shrink the rubber to fit, and plug the lead back into the harness. Once you have the harness all taped up and dressed just plug it back into the MAF sensor and you are good to go. My P2188 code cleared immediately. Here is a weblink with a detailed walk through...Good Luck!

Air intake manifold valves sticking by mja777

I've just got the news from my local dealer that I may need to replace the intake manifold for $1200.00. I have a 2004 with 63000 miles. I noticed a clicking noise at about 53,000 miles. I own the 2.0 liter which is the 3i. Has anyone out there had the same problem? Any ideas on a less expensive solution?

Tell the dealer's service manager (or Mazda if needed) that an intake manifold shouldn't fail after 3 years and 53-63k miles and ask them to help you out. There may be a "secret warranty" on it.

Right...you replied to someone that did.
 
I wish Edmunds had auto quotes.
