#28 of 57 anyone experienced this? by bifft May 02, 2008 (8:31 am)
2007 B-3000, history: She smacked her driver rear bumper into a very mature Ash tree while backing out of a parking slip. She only traveled about 18" but they went by real fast! The driver side bumper crumpled properly, the only visual damage. Since, at least twice a month, she's shut-off in mid-flight. Heavy traffic, open road city hiways or country lanes; she has no real preference. She had a look over in approximately december 2007 and was pronounced a hypochondriac, nothing was wrong! Yet...! She's been in the shop for three weeks now and the latest cure is to replace "the computer", fortunately on Mazda's dime. Otherwise, best darn truck I've ever owned! Any ideas?
#29 of 57 Engine dies after warm-up by rds5 May 04, 2008 (10:28 am)
My 1989 Mazda B2200 pickup dies after warm-up. It restarts but runs extremely rough with no power. Any ideas out there on what the problem might be Replies to this message: the_bean (May 05, 2008 7:42 am)

Replying to: rds5 (May 04, 2008 10:28 am) I'd start by checking the fuel and air filters. but you may also have too much back pressure from a clogged exhaust. another thing could be the carb. the truck is almost 20 years old and could just need a simple tune up
#31 of 57 vacume lines by bigsandy Jul 14, 2008 (8:02 pm)
I have a 1987 B2200 and I am having a lot of problem with vacume lines. Is there a diagram of lines for a california truck and a diagram of a non-california truck so I can figure out which is totally needed and which are not?

Replying to: bigsandy (Jul 14, 2008 8:02 pm) oh yeah. just pick up a chiltons manuel for your truck. it'll be no more than $20 and will have everything you need (complete wiring and vacume line diagrams) Replies to this message: bigsandy (Jul 19, 2008 10:37 pm) the_bean (Jul 21, 2008 11:39 am)

Replying to: the_bean (Jul 16, 2008 7:30 am) Hmmmmmm the person thats fixing my truck has a copy but claims there is no diagram. Maybe he has a different book.   Thank's,   Sandy! Replies to this message: the_bean (Jul 21, 2008 11:39 am)
#34 of 57 Interchangeable Carb? by bigsandy Jul 19, 2008 (10:42 pm)
I have a problem with a 1987 B2200 pickup that idles very high. Someone said it could be the carb. Is there a different carb that will work? I saw where someone mentioned a Nikki carb? Could you please give me some info on that? The person fixing the truck also thinks it might be the float and is just trying to fix that. Any comments or suggestions are very welcome. (help)   Sandy!

Replying to: bigsandy (Jul 19, 2008 10:37 pm) i have an 86 b2000 and a chitons book for my truck and it has all the wiring diagrams for the truck in it. the problem might be that they diagrams are very hard to read and understand. the best thing you could do is call your local mazda or domestic (us mazda trucks are built by ford) repair shop and see if they could fax you a copy of the diagram.   no worries, the_bean
#36 of 57 timing problem? by codeman555 Aug 17, 2008 (4:28 pm)
I recently changed my oil pump, water pump, and timing belt. Plugs as well. Before I took it apart it ran well and did not smoke at all. I completed it and it runs strong but smokes out the tailpipe quite a bit. Put the # 1 at top dead center. Took timing cover off and saw the mark on crankshaft pulley was in line. As well as the A mark on the cam pulley. I also took the valve cover off and saw that the #1 springs were uncompressed, but I believe were closed. Cause I put my finger in the spark plug hole and felt compression. I am at a loss, I don't know what I'm missing. Can anybody help me? Replies to this message: codeman555 (Aug 17, 2008 4:29 pm)

Replying to: codeman555 (Aug 17, 2008 4:28 pm) Plus I also put a timing gun on it and it looks correct.
