yup. my 2004 Mazda 3 is fuct. i think i have some bent valves because they are making all kinds of noise. so until i figure out what i wanna do with it, its gonna stay parked in the garage and im gonna have to drive the Ranger. i may go down to the Ford/Mitsubishi dealership and see about possibly trading it in on something. i dunno what to do yet. this sucks!

That really sucks. Did you over rev it or something?
 
i may have but i also hadnt had the oil changed in awhile so with those 2 factors, that would explain why the motor is shot. i dunno. im thinking about getting either a Fusion, Focus or another truck of some type. whatever i get, i want cheaper payments or something around what im paying now for the Mazda 3.
 
dude at tax time im gonna go get me a lancer gsr... cant fuckin wait

sorry bout your car man.. i love those new mazda's. actually i may get one of them, but its gonna be tough to pick a 3 over the new lancer...;)
 
I know to a guy with a Mazda 3 around the same year and he had the same problem you are describing. He was coming off a on-ramp onto the freeway and opened it up and it went boom. He could hear shit ratteling around and it was runing really bad.

What happened was the screws that hold the butterfly valve on in the intake manifold came loose and the whole works went into the combustion chamber. He was able to remove the head and take them out and no damage was done to the cylinder walls or head. After that he put a new head gasket in and was driving fine again.

After all the bitching he does to me about my car, he goes and doesn't bother to check the oil in his Mazda. *shakes head and dodges things being thrown*

I told him to get a Sentra Spec V. :ph34r:
 
spec V's are garbage. i know a dude who went through 4 motors. 4.

e's mazda blew up too not too long ago.

new cars are junk :(

I've herd the same things about the screws, I think it was from Turbo&Auto. Might be worth looking into.
 
wow that blows, my sister's 06 mazda 3 just shit her engine out a few days ago... but it might have been because the last shop she had her oil changed at didnt tighten the filter and it fell off:ph34r:
 
I know another guy with a 03 Mazda3 and his computer went after like 30,000 miles. Cost him $1000 to get it running again.

Whatever you do don't get a freakin Focus there like Neons good at first and then they just fall to pices.
 
New cars are the reason i don't buy later than 95. FUK OBD2!!!

If you treat it like shit, I'm not surprised. It's unbalanced as hell and it required a compact balancer for it to even rev out to 6300... which is low as shit.

Beat the hell out of an engine and it's going to fail eventually. Continue doing it, and you're just a fucking idiot.
 
just say you swerved to miss a deer on the road, over reacted, lost control, and that re-enforced concrete wall had no business getting in the way of your car.


insurance, then go get new car.
