I'd greatly appreciate some help. My son's 2008 Mazda 3 (2.3L) has wacky, intermittent issues. I bought the car earlier this year for $3,000 and knew that it had the following issues that happen altogether about 95% of the time: Turn signals work but no indicator of turn signals appear on the dash. Same for hazard lights. A/C light functions but A/C compressor doesn't turn on. Right side of the climate display does not work. (The display only shows the time & radio... Read more ..read more

Hello all! First time poster here so bear with me. I have a 2017 Mazda3 2.0L 6MT w/ 86k miles. Little background— I recently developed a click noise from the engine bay that was loudest at cold start up. Fearing a lifter failure I bought a stethoscope & actually verified click to be loudest at belt tensioner.

I have a Mazda 3 2.3l hatchback. I have had the p2004 intake manifold runner control valve bank 1 stuck open for a while. I've also had the p0421 warm up catalyst bank 1 code.

As well as the o2 sensors, spark plugs, coil packs, and a few... Read more ..read more
