Cleaned throttlebody |
| 97800 mi | Soon after purchase, the check engine light came on (P2178 too rich off idle) with no other pending or trouble codes. The engine runs a bit rough at times with low fuel economy. The garage I purchased the Mazda from replaced the MAF sensor and the Mazda genuine oxygen sensor to no avail and they do not seem to have an idea how to solve it. |
| 97500 mi US $80 |
The error is too generic and I don't drive enough (~3k miles/yr) to make it my highest priority. So I am just following the troubleshooting guide from https://www.autocodes.com/p2178_mazda.html and replace/cleaning small things I can myself when I want to. Cleaned throttle body and replace spark plugs. I found the #1 plug was covered in oil so the valve gasket replacement is needed. But I won't do it before I replace the PCV valve, which is apparently not an easy job due to its location (underneath the intake manifold). Perhaps I will get to it when it's warmer outside. |
| 383160 mi C $150 |
oxygen sensor failed. It may have been a replacement part but I did not report it prevoiusly. |
| 39680 mi C $100 |

Trouble code for cold start, repeated but intermittent code. Diagnosis was inconclusive. More intensive diagnosis at substantial estimated cost was rejected. Car is operating OK, troubled code has been off for two months. |
| 9920 mi | Poor fuel economy observed by owner. Dealer performed diagnostics and reflashed ECU, but said many Mazdas are still "breaking in" up until 20000-25000km and the fuel economy may remain poor. |

Electrical short in engine wire harness. Caused Engine bus bar #1 to pop fuse repeatedly after changing several sensors/parts. Still can't dind |
| 189000 mi US $2500 |
After changing the entire engine and body harness, I discovered the culprit was the purge valve connector behind the fuel tank and charcoal canister. It was shorted causing the eng #1 fuse to pop. After 7 months and $2500, I finally got the car to run but probably needs a new body control module but don't know which one to get: the Mazda base or Mazda GT. The harness came from a base but I own a GT? |

PCM flashed / updated due to brake booster replacement. Engine threw code from last trip to dealer, didn't get off the lot without another code. I believe it was P2178.
