Gnuggets -> Mazda MX3 Dies at idle (12/27/2006 10:43:33 PM)
Hello Everyone My names Matthew. I just bought a mazda mx3 for 1800 dollers its a 1993 with rebuilt engine. The engine has only 60k miles as i am told. The car runs great however when i let off the gas to stop at a stop sign the engine kinda shakes as in LOW RPMS then dies then i start the car up and i have to rev the engine between 1k to keep it runing its just fine while driving does anyone know what could be going on with this?? I put some fuel injecter cleaner to see if that would help SO far nothen anyways thanks guys
Matthew

I just went through this. There is a rubber boot that goes between the air sensor and the engine intake. Check to see if it has a rip any where. Mine did and the air sensor could not detect a vacuum at idle and the engine cut off. The boot is a dealer item, about $60 or $70.
Hope this helps!

I looked for cracks No cracks were found i adjusted the air idle control valve and it stoped dieing at stopsighns however my idle is WAY TO high now idles at 2000 RPMS but if i lower hte idel control valve down it dies like it has been i noticed that if i turn on the air condition the RPMS go way back up =/ well i think im going to give up on this mx3 and sell it for 1000 dollers i just bought a 93 mx6 with the v6 MUCH more power hehe
