Replying to: mazdrvr (Feb 24, 2008 3:36 am) 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. The tire pressures were probably adjusted while the ambient air temperature was very warm. As the ambient temperature drops so does the tire pressure- which is what I suspect happened in your case.

Replying to: mazdrvr (Feb 24, 2008 3:36 pm) Possibly but the funny thing is that i drove the same route earlier in the day & don't ever remember seeing any potholes. it's a newer area so the road is nice. ??? Are there any high curbs? Replies to this message: mazdrvr (Feb 25, 2008 9:41 am)

Replying to: roadburner (Feb 24, 2008 4:19 pm) I live in Nj. there are some places that put Nitrogen in the tires. Nitrogen supposedly does not expand or contract with ambient temp. Just once in Nov, it went from 60 deg to less then 30 in 24 hours.

Replying to: roadburner (Feb 24, 2008 4:21 pm) No high curbs either. Just nice smooth, wide roads.

Replying to: joeduppa (Feb 24, 2008 8:04 pm) I've heard about nitrogen too. The Toyota near me uses nitrogen & Costco. What happens if your tire blows out, will it explode? I was thinking of getting nitrogen put into my tires. *Thank you guys for the replies! (I guess i have a slight case of bad luck!)

Replying to: mazdrvr (Feb 25, 2008 9:45 am) I've been doing nitrogen in my tires for about 9 months now. I'll have to do a follow up to this blog entry, but it about covers my thoughts on it...

Replying to: pf_flyer (Feb 25, 2008 11:18 am) Great blog! Please keep us updated. It'll be great info to have! Okay, thanks again to everyone who replied to my post! I found out today how all the damage happened. Even though she was driving at a low speed, it happened while taking a turn... I need to replace the rim (which got bent, not split; i saw it at night) & tire. Then have to go to the body shop to repair the bumper & paint; a piece of it came off so can't "pop it back in". Oh well... sh* happens. Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Feb 25, 2008 5:08 pm)

Replying to: mazdrvr (Feb 25, 2008 3:41 pm) Ah, so she did hit something. That's what I thought. Probably a curb.
#4231 of 4532 Re: Another Noise Question [mazdalemon] by gcoluni Feb 28, 2008 (3:36 pm)
Replying to: mazdalemon (Jan 26, 2008 9:51 am) A dealer is telling me that I have an issue with loose butterflies in my intake. I am not sure that I believe them. Should an engine light go on? On my 2004 Mazda 3 there is a clicking noise when I am idling and you can hear it up until 1500 rpm. When you rev the engine above that there is no noticable difference. Do you think this could be the issue? How much did and should it cost you to get the intake manifold replaced (they quoted me 850)? Is there anyway to test this before having someone work on the car?
