#1 of 33 1995 Mazda Millenia won't start by khmr270

Dec 02, 2005 (5:27 pm)

Hi my '95 Mazda Millenia will not start now. It cranks like it's out of fuel, but I checked the fuel gauges and everything looks normal. Could it be a relay of some sort? I had a similar problem with my '99 Honda Accord and I switched out the relay in it and now it starts fine. Someone told me that it could be a fuel pump relay, is there such a relay on my car and if so where would it be? Of course I could have my car taken to a repair shop, but I would like to at least troubleshoot the problem prior to taking it in. I hope someone will provide some answers. Thank you in advance for any help.

Steve,
 
I have a '97 Millenia and I had a problem before with my Millennia. Try what I did, put the car in Neutral then start it should help. I am having a problem with it starting today. These things have a characteristic of bad EGR valves. My mechanic is coming over later to fix it and I am having symptoms like the no turn over, dash battery drainage

#4 of 33 95 Millenia Hold light by gliebel

1995 Mazda Millenia. Some times when you turn on the ignition key the "HOLD" light comes on and the car will not start. The "HOLD" light is the one that is activated at the automatic transmission shift lever that down shifts one gear when you drive. If I turn the ignition key on / off X times the "HOLD" light goes off and the car starts and runs fine. This happens about 2 or 3 times a week. Is this a known problem with Mazda? I am concerned that this problem may some day leave me stranded.
Thanks for your assistants

#10 of 33 Blue/White Smoke During Start Up by wrd88

Aug 29, 2006 (11:34 am)

I recently purchases a 2000 Millenia S. It has only been 1 month and already there are many things wrong with the car. The day after I purchased the car the "Check Engine" light came on. I took the car to my regular mechanic who really had no idea what they were doing since that miller engine was so difficult to work on. I ended up taking it to the nearest Mazda dealership. Since I've had the car I've replaced the fan motor because the car would unexpectedly overheat. Two O2 censors were also replaced totaling about $1,100! A few days after I got my Millenia back the same "Check Engine" light magically appeared again! I took the car back to the dealership where the said that the catalytic converters had to be replaced! Luckly it was still under the 80,000k warranty.
   I still have the car however every time I start it up blue/white smoke comes out of the exhaust, then it quickly stops after the car has idled for a minute. I don't know what to do about this. This is my first car and I don't think I can affort any more repairs! Do I keep the car or do I avaoid future headaches and sell it and get somthing else? The car is beautiful and looks great but if it dosent run then whats the point of keeping it? Someone help!
