Replying to: dannyyo (Jan 08, 2009 8:23 am) IIRC, the domestic content of the MPV as stated on the monroney sticker was maybe 1% or something low like that. The engines are Ford made and shipped to Japan, where the van is assembled. The motor parts are not direct Ford parts, but can be cross referenced and almost all the remaining motor parts are stamped with Made in Japan....   -Brian
#57 of 65 78% of Parts From Japan by jipster Jan 09, 2009 (6:23 am)
IIRC, the domestic content of the MPV as stated on the monroney sticker was maybe 1% or something low like that.   Actually the domestic content is 21%... remember an engine is a pretty big part.   Per MPV sticker: U.S Canadian Parts Content: 21%                           Major Sources of Foreign Parts Content: Japan 78%   Which leaves 1% of parts unaccounted for... or missing. Maybe, that's why you are having problems with your MPV dannyyo?
#58 of 65 After parting with $338...ouch...:( by dannyyo Jan 10, 2009 (9:36 pm)
Ok...so my MPV is back home with me. The error codes where 0174 and 0171. My mechanic wasn't sure which part to replace because there were like 10 possibilities. So he suggested that I take it to a Mazda dealer to get a diagnotic test done. This dealer charges $145 just for the diag. They got a code of P0174 and recommended that I get the PCV hose replaced for a total cost of $338. I called my mechanic and he said just go ahead and do it with the dealer, although it'd only cost him $60 or so plus small labor to do it. At least I'll know for sure that it fixed the problem. I look at all my records and realized that I had the PCV hose replace once before through the Oct 2004 recall, but the part number was slightly different. Then I searched the net and discovered this http://forum.mpvclub.com/viewtopic.php?t=17546. Geez, I could have done it myself and saved couple of hundred bucks!!! Interesting what you find in the forums. At least next time I'll just pay my mechanic 100 bucks and it'll be okay. I'm pretty sure it'll go out again in about another 4 years. So far it's only lasted 4 years. Does anyone recommend buying your own diagnotic tool?

#61 of 65 H02S Heater Control Location by brazil69 Feb 17, 2009 (1:37 pm)
I own a 2000 Mazda MPV with 57,000K on it, recently my check engine light came on so I connected the OBD || tester and got an P0031 DTC, Result; H02S Heater Control Circuit Low Bank 1 Sensor 1. Question, Can some please tell me where is this sensor located? It's telling me is on the right side but I don't really know the exact location.
#62 of 65 P0300 Question by jlflemmons Feb 19, 2009 (8:11 pm)
2002 MPV w/ 119K miles. Owner asked if I would take a look at it. His complaint was that the engine would start stumbling badly and CEL. I drove it, and it drove just fine, but told him I would see what I could find.   The plugs were original and pretty burned up, so that was the first thing I changed. Cleared the codes, started right up, ran great for a few minutes, then dropped a cylinder. Couple of minutes later, dropped another. (4 and 6). I have rechecked the assembly (who in the sam hill came up with having to pull the top half of the intake to change the rear plugs???!!!) and everything is connected, nothing leaking, and the only code setting is P0300. I am about ready to send him to a dealer or independent with better diagnostic software, but thought I would throw this one out there to see if you guys have seen a trend.   Most of my tech support is over in the Blazer forums, but figured I would try to look at this since it is a Ford engine.   Thanks for any help you can offer.

Replying to: jlflemmons (Feb 19, 2009 8:11 pm) My guess is coils, probably one or more of the back three.   I know you can buy the coils on ebay on the cheap.   http://forum.mpvclub.com/viewtopic.php?t=17565&highlight=coils   It could also be a pcv hose, the hose is about $60 from the dealer and install is about $40.

Replying to: budmantom (Feb 19, 2009 8:32 pm) Well, I am an idiot. Fortunately, somebody (forget the name, but you know who you are and if we ever meet, I owe you a beer) documented this same repair with very good photos. I went through the whole process for the ump-teenth time, and everything was as it should be.   That is, until I looked at the routing of the front bank coil harness. It doesn't do a sequential route like the rear bank. It comes across the valve cover and in between 5 and 6. Who knows why, but it does, and I got 4 and 6 swapped.   Anyway, while fixing that, I found another problem and fixed it. The retention tab on the #5 coil was broken, and the connector was loose on the coil. Couple of ty-wraps later and it is snug as a bug. And the engine runs sweet and sets no codes.   But I am not doing another one of these beasties if I can help it. Pulling the plenum just to get to the plugs is just wrong.
#65 of 65 Can't find reader plug...:P by anthonyboone Sep 03, 2009 (8:08 pm)
Anyone know where to find the plugin for the code reader on a 1991 MPV? I've looked both under the dash and all under the hood and can't seem to find it.
