Replying to: asd (Jan 11, 2007 1:25 pm) This is the procedure from the Mazda Protege service manual that I have been using for my Mazda Protege5:   "ENGINE OIL INSPECTION 1. Position the vehicle on level ground. 2. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature and stop it. 3. Wait for 5 min. 4. Remove the dipstick and inspect for oil level and condition. Verify that the oil level is within the F and L marks on the dipstick."

#4318 of 4532 Re: warm weather, long crank, slow start, rough idle [2freespirits] by zuly Jul 16, 2008 (8:19 am)
Replying to: 2freespirits (Jul 10, 2008 1:45 pm) I just bought a manual Mazda 3 2008 brand new and am having the same issue. When I get in the car in the mornings I push in the clutch and give the car gas and it just cranks. I give it a break and try again for around three minutes until the car finally starts. If I have this issue now after only 800 miles. I can only imagine how bad it'll get after a year. I dont know if my 3 year warranty covers it but Im taking it in to get looked at today. Did you have to pay for labor costs if it is under warranty? Please give me some advice as I am nervous about this issue.

Replying to: zuly (Jul 16, 2008 8:19 am) Sure this would be covered under warranty. I'd have them check the pressure in the fuel rail on a cold start. It could be that the pressure is just bleeding down overnight, so that your fuel pump has to work extra harder to re-pressurize the fuel rail so that the car will start.

Replying to: zuly (Jul 16, 2008 8:19 am) zuly,   Are you stepping on the gas pedal when starting your car? That would cause it to flood. My problem only happens when the temps start going up. To date, I have not heard anything about effective (or not) the new engine is. I will qualify for the lemon law on Sunday.

#4323 of 4532 Navigation and Color? by ylz Jul 16, 2008 (3:03 pm)
Hello everyone. I decided I'm buying a 2008 Mazda 3 GT Hatchback. I have two important questions and would love to hear feedback on it so anything would help. First, how is the Navigation in this car? Someone who has the Nav, please comment on this. I mean, honestly I really want it cause it looks good and I'm always travelling and a Nav system would come so in handy. And the second question I have is what color do you guys prefer. I was all set on black until I went to the dealership today and saw metropolitan gray. What a gorgeous color! Its like dark grey but with a touch of blue. Actually, it looks bluish-grayish. I know these two things seem unimportant but it will really affect my decision on this car. Ok, thanks a lot.
