#6 of 25 Re: 2001 Mazda Tribute - Loping idle on cold start [mgregory123] by dannybmx Nov 04, 2008 (11:47 am)
Replying to: mgregory123 (Oct 16, 2008 5:30 am) I have a 2001 V6 Tribute with 180,000 miles. I have been chasing this problem since last fall. I have changed the IACV, spark plugs, fuel filter, have tried several different fuel system cleaners and have searched for vacuum leaks. I have not found any solution. Have you had any luck lately?

Replying to: mgregory123 (Oct 16, 2008 5:30 am) Hi,   I'm having the exact same problem so I was wondering if you found a solution yet. My dealer changed the battery, alternator, and fuel pump and nothing has solved it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.   Thanks.

Replying to: mgregory123 (Oct 16, 2008 5:30 am) I had the same issue; car is just under 100k miles and had this issue for about 4 months. Mechanic found that the intake manifold gasket was leaking. Replaced upper and lower intake gaskets and problem nwas fixed. Cost was about $50 in parts and $180 in labor. Replies to this message: sger (Nov 13, 2008 3:50 pm) dannybmx (Dec 01, 2008 11:20 am)

Replying to: raustria (Nov 12, 2008 10:46 pm) Thanks for the information. I replaced my upper and lower intake manifold gaskets a week ago and have not had any idle problems since. The lower gaskets were really bad and most likely 3 out of the six were leaking.
#13 of 25 erratic/intermittent high idle by bachman Dec 23, 2008 (3:34 am)
Just an FYI; Had a problem over a year ago on my 02 Tribute (V6 ES) and paid the diag fee and another $180.00 or so to replace the idle control valve. Part was + $40.00 at the dealer versus AutoZone. The problem comes back now an then and the idle can float to 1500 or more, sometimes not coming down. I have a month or more left on the 1 year warranty for the work they did and do not wish to pay a 2nd diag fee since the first did not solve the problem. We'll see how it all works out. I'm worried if the idle creeps up to 1000 or 1200 and my wife or kids are driving, they may put it in gear ... ouch !!
#14 of 25 no acceleration/engine shaking by Katloverindy Dec 30, 2008 (2:37 pm)
had the spark plugs checked, the coils checked and boots replaced and the mechanic told me it might be the computer sensor is not being read.. take it to the dealer for a diagnostic. At the dealer, someone mentioned it could be the catalytic converter needs to be changed. He just drove it and parked it in the lot. I'm waiting on the diagnostic test tomorrow, however, initially the mechanic that looked at it thought I needed the engine coils replaced. The first mechanic replaced the coils and the engine still didn't work. So, I'll see how the diagnostic report reads tomorrow. Just wondering if anyone has a similar problem. It is a 2001 Mazda Tribute 4wd which I don't use 4wd. Replies to this message: bachman (Dec 30, 2008 3:08 pm) Katloverindy (Jan 01, 2009 3:17 pm) bachman (Jan 01, 2009 4:08 pm)

Replying to: Katloverindy (Dec 30, 2008 2:37 pm) Per your title no acceleration / shaking;   I had a very similar issue with a Jeep about 3-4 years ago.. turned out the cat was shot and plugged up. It finally blew the stuff out and since then, the exhaust sounded different. Eventually I had the system re-done but prior, the thing almost wouldn't run and had a severe loss of power until the bb's burned or blew out. This could be a simple and inexpensive fix if you end up with the same diagnosis. Replies to this message: Katloverindy (Jan 01, 2009 3:17 pm) bachman (Jan 01, 2009 4:08 pm)
