This has to have happend before
I have a question that im hoping anyone may be able to help me with.
i have a problem that started about 1 month ago, the car hasnt been driven much since then and i havent had money to get it checked so here is the problem though. And thank you if you know what im talking about
I turn the car on, around and it iwll idle at about 800-1000 rpm jsut fine. but if you lightly tap the gas, the rpm will go up to like 1,200 but when it drops it will drop to about 600 and it will feel like it is goign to stall. Also sometimes while driving it will bog starting from first gear all the way until 3rd gear. sometimes during idle the whole car will shake at 600 rpm, then i can rev it to about 2,000 and it will still be shakey but once it hits 3,000 its smooth all the way up to 7,000.
There are many suggestions on what i can be.
1. O2sensor
2. TPS
3. Fuel filter - ordered pickign it up in 3 days, havent tried yet
4.Spark plugs - i changed them today, they were pretty fouled, but i did not change the wires, could that be it?
5.Oil i changed that today also
6.Fuel injectors - im recommend from this FC owner at autozone to try using injector cleaner that you put in your tank and then drive you car
7.Intake filter dirty? havent look at yet
8.battery - its died 3 times and its really weak cuz the windows can bearly roll up at the same time
Is there anything else you think it may be? I really dont have the money to have it checked by the mazda dealership - 400 dollars for just inspection =\
no engine check light is on, and the car gives out no smoke, it has exhaust smell of fuel but that seems normal its not too extreme that it would make you gag or anything.
and the first time battery died was about 1 month ago...but i dont think that has to do with anything. maybe? cuz then the spark plugs wouldnt fire as strong?
AHH i hope its not my apex seals cuz a rebuild is not in the mix =( well i got a compression test done and it shows both front and rear rotors have equal peaks, so the guy at Rotary specialist, said i was good for awhile. and that was done like 2 months ago. Is there anyone in the s.cal area that would be willing to show me how to rebuild the engine if needed! i will pay you!
hopefully its something small like the fuel filter
thanx for any help
