Hi. I am new to the site but am in need of some advice. I have an 04 Mazda 3S....2.3 liter....5 speed manual....and the check engine light came on a couple of weeks ago so I went to the local auto parts store to have the code read, and it came back with the code that said "upper intake runner closed." Has anyone ever heard of this or know what might be causing it? I would really appreciate the help so I dont have to pay the high price of taking it to the dealer for some minor problem that I might possibly be able to fix myself. Any advice would be greatly welcomed. Thanks!

| About one month ago I purchased a 08 Mazda3s,Touring, 5 door, AT. I also have a 04 Mazda6 wagon. We like both cars a lot. The question is on the 3. After driving for example to/from work which is twenty-five miles, stopping in the driveway, I hear a noise from the front of the car. The noise is from the engine area and it sounds like hollow knocking noise. Sometimes the noise will stop then start again. It doesn't sound like the engine but again a hollow knocking noise like when you make a noise with your tongue and the roof of your mouth. I have not yet taken the car to the dealer but will do so asap. Any of you Mazda 3 owners experienced this? By the way the 3 runs great, no problems at all except for the noise. Thanks | |

Posted earlier about my engine replacement and replacement engine failure. Ready for the update: broken Intake Manifold ? So after 2wks at the dealership, I can pick up my car today! Won't have all the details 'til I get there. (if they are honest about the events). I don't know if the original engine failure was misdiagnosed or if the defective intake manifold broke both engines. Anyone have ideas? |

HELLO, I'M PRETTY NEW TO THIS FORUM, I HAD RESEARCHED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MY MAZDA 3 AFTER I BOUGHT IT. IT IS A 2005 AND WE'VE HAD IT FOR ONE YEAR AND IT HAS 52K MILES ON IT. IT JUST STARTED SHAKING ALL OF A SUDDEN WHEN THE CAR IS ON. ALSO IT KIND OF STALLS WHEN THE GEAR IS SHIFTING FROM 1 TO 2 (IT MIGHT ALSO BE BECAUSE I DON'T WARM UP THE CAR BEFORE I DRIVE IT) BUT ABOUT ONE MONTH AGO IT STARTED TURNING THE EMISSION SYSTEM LIGHT ON. I TOOK IT TO BE SERVICED AND ALL THEY TOLD ME WAS THAT THE GAS LID WASN'T ON PROPERLY? ANYWAYS, IT WENT OFF, BUT NOW IT HASN'T SHUT-OFF ANYMORE? ANY SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT IT COULD BE? ANYTHING IS GREATLY APPRECIATED...
