| Is it the fuel filter? Is so, where is the fuel filter located? If not, any suggestions? | |

Replying to: gretsch6120 (Feb 18, 2008 6:26 pm) You have to have an ODB II Code Scanner. Now, Autozone usually has these and they will pull a trouble code for you for free. I have a software program that I purchased from autoenginuity.com that comes with an ODB II adapter. You install the software on your laptop or palm, patch into the car and it will pull ALL KINDS of captured data from the computer. Everything from trouble codes, engine temp, speed, O2 sensor readings, everything. You can even run it REAL TIME and capture info as you drive to help troubleshoot problems. Considering most dealers charge you for pulling codes and clearing codes, this thing pays for it self after two or three uses. I have used a handful of times on my own cars, and on lots of friends and family. Any car built after 1996 has an ODB-II scan port, so the applications are many with this tool. Hope this helps, I highly recommend the software.

Replying to: avlmzda3 (Feb 20, 2008 10:29 am) I find it hard to believe a new engine wouldn't be covered under warranty unless they felt there had been unlicensed/hobiest tinkering -- hence the request for past maintenance records. Maybe this is going too far but your screen name has zoomzoom in it and you mention a sportscar, RX8. Come'on, what did you do to this car that didn't work out as planned.

Replying to: igozoomzoom (Feb 07, 2008 10:35 pm) I am thinking of the mazda3 i touring. Where was that great dealer that you dealt with? I am in the boston area (south). Do you know if the marginal safety ratings of the 3 are with or without side curtain airbags?

Sorry, this might sound dumb but i wanted to know... Early this morning driving in a residential area (speed limit 35), a family member using my car, got a flat tire. The thing is that i know that they were not driving over speed limit (slow driver) so is it possible for the flat driving 35 mph to cause a split in a alloy wheel? Also, the side of my bumper "unhooked" from the body which of course caused the bottom of it to get scraped!  The thing i don't get is (on my old Protege) when a tire blew driving on the freeway, it did not cause damage like this; my wheel just had some minor scratches and nothing happened to the body of the car. Also, several months ago, my TPMS light went on & i had Mazda check it & all 4 tires were below pressure; is that weird a thing to have all 4? I hope i don't have bad tires.
