i admit im not the best speller but glad you read between the lines.but your an idiot by NO means kennin thats for sure.im where im at on this car because of you but take it easy on us ......the other NETWORK(good ole boy)is putting in fuel pumps,alternators,batteries,SUPERCHARGERS!!!!this person shoulda taken it to the dealer to begin with.my guess a $35 fuel pump relay woulda fired it right up...the first thing you should do when you buy one of THESE is get a code reader,do your homework...and take it to a MAZDA DEALER.that way you know where your at... then do your homework somemore.i know they dont make cars at the dealer silly.but they dont just hire bucknasty off the street either.especially mazda dealers.but the place around the corner hires anyone.you get what you pay for

 

Keninn's not an idiot. He just missed a few opportunities on taking some classes in social skills.

 

Hey guys I am female, so no I dont know much about cars, yes i should have done some research however I didnt thats why I am asking, but i may either junk it or get it towed to dealer. Thanks

 

the millenia S is a hard car to figure out,especially without acually having the car in front of you.so many systems to check.i hope things come out good for you and sorry we couldnt get you rolling again.if it ran good at first,it shouldnt be too bad.good luck

 

It has been 2days since the dealer has had and has yet to figure out the problem. There saying it may be the pressure in the engine isnt right or maybe it maybe the engine is gone.

 

Wow guys lets stop jumpin down each others throat, we come here for help and yes some of us are better with this stuff than others.

First things first, why an alternator and battery? Odd place to start for a car that suddenly dies. Sudden death has no relation to battery if the lights still come on. even if they don't batteries don't just "die" while driving down the road.

Second (maybe should be first) beware of dealers! they are notorious for overcharging and for throwing parts at a problem without knowing what the problem is and making you pay. The dealer service is only as good as the tech assigned to your car. Before jumping into that big ticket repair, and make sure they know to call you before spending big $$$, find out who the tech is how long he's been there and what training he's had.

Also, just like surgery, if it's a big one (lots of $$) GET A SECOND OPINION. Yes it will cost towing but so what. Putting in a tranny when you don't need one --- well enuf said.

My approach would be to trace power to the key components like the fuse box(s), then ignition, then fuel pump etc. There are also breakers and fuses major and minor that should be checked. All this can be done by any competent mechanic at far more reasonable cost than a dealer.

I suspect you've been taken for a battery and alternator already don't let it go any further w/o being in charge, don't be bullied!

 

Pressure in the engine??? What pressure? Compression in a cylinder (there are 6!) Oil pressure? Engine gone is always a potential but way out there. How did it die? were you driving at the time? did it make a big noise, then die? any smoke before death? Does the dipstick show oil?

If it's the engine it either made a big noise, or blew lots of smoke before it died or will no longer turn over because it ran out of oil and siezed.

 

My 1995 Millenia S is giving me crap lol. I just changed the plugs, oil, and filter. Didnt change the plug connectors though. But my issue is when driving, if I press very lightly on the gas the car goes fine, but if I press like halfway down the car bogs out and loses power to the point of almost not moving anymore. But I let off back to lightly touching it and im going again. Some help please.
