#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.

Replying to: the_bean (Feb 29, 2008 10:47 am) I was just wondering if you still had your B-2000 engine for sale. If you do, I was wondering how much you wanted for it and what part of the U.S. you live in.   Thanks! 7801brian
#40 of 57 B2300 Engine coolant system eating itself by a70roadster Jan 06, 2009 (4:40 pm)
I have a 2002 B2300 P/U. Went to change the thermostat and found the engine cooling system eroding internally. Seems like the wrong coolant was put in the engine. Funny thing, the coolant has not been replaced. It was topped off twice. 1 by the dealer and 1 by the oil change place. 78k Miles and no one ever recommended the coolant be replaced during all of the service visits. Because the warranty expired, MAZDA disavowed any responsibility but offered a couple hundred dollars in service credits. BEWARE the coolant you use. DO NOT USE MAZDA EXTENDED LIFE COOLANT. See owners manual page 275. I believe this is what was in my engine because when it was drained, it was orange/brown in color NOT GREEN. WORD to the wise.
#41 of 57 02 Mazda B2300 Misses under acceleration by TimSC Jan 24, 2009 (9:03 am)
I have an engine miss under load or heavy acceleration. It seems to be much worse in cold weather. I have changed the plugs and plug wires with no help. I have the ECM code checked, it indicated a temperature modual fault. I changed the electronic thermostat, but no help, trucks runs in normal temperature range. I have visually inspected the coil and see no issues like cracks or moisture. The truck has 118K miles and has been well maintained. Any one have a similar problem?

Replying to: TimSC (Jan 24, 2009 9:03 am) yeah actually i do! but not with my b2000. its actually with my F2T mx-6. my mazda cuts out at 4psi and between 3 and 4 thousand RPM. i've had it checked and was told it was the ignitor. i replaced the whole distributor. this helped a bit but the problem still remains. after calling around and talking to a few car gods i have 3 possible answers (all sensors) 1) the cam/speed sensor 2) the temp sensor or 3) the TPS (throttle position sensor) i was told the problem is definately electrical! i'm yet to atttemp the replace these sensors but if/when you fix your truck please let me know and i'll do the same for you when i fix my engine issues.
