Mazda 3 stutters/hesitates
Hi there,
I have MAzda 3i, 2.0 2008, manual transmission. 64K miles. Two weeks ago my car started to stutter/hesitate. Driving in 5th, around 3K RPMS, downshifting to 4th gear, the car starts to stutter/hestitate between 3700 and 400o RPMs. As soon as revs are above 4000 , stuttering/hesitation stops. Same stuttering/hesitation while on 3700 in 5th gear. Please note, when accelarating, I am passing 4200 in 3rd gear, all is fine, accelareting in 4th gear stutters around 4200, downshifting from 5th, stutters around 3700. I have replaced original spark plugs with BOSCH, now car is doing 32miles/gallon instead of 30 miles/gallon, stuttering is still there. If anybody had same problem, pleaase let me know how you've fix it? Thx |
could be an issue with your maf being dirty, ive had problems with mine twice even before i put my intake on, it could be also the ****ty bosch plugs, me and lot of my friends have nothing with problems with bosch plugs. You could other problems though, electrial issues are a pita with these cars, id just take it to a trusted shop.

Last Thursday the Check Engine light came on. Today brought the car to the shop, Gemini Goodyear, the diagnostics show the Air-Fuel Ratio sensor was malfunctioning. So, diagnostics, new sensor ($450), labor and fuel lines/canals cleaning ( Gemini does it with the BG products), $800 later I got my car back. Will see in next few days if that fixed the problem. Also, the shop maager repeated Trackers advise, to take the Bosch plugs off and replace them with NKG. Any idea/experience why the Bosch shouldn't work? I came from Europe, wher the Bosch is the recognized quality. I had very good experience with Bosch in Europe. And, european car or Japanese, at least that's my opinion, spark plug is doing the same work. No mater the car origin. As engine basics should be the same. Spark plugs I have used are Bosch Platinum +2, Platinum and Yttrium +2 ground electrodes. With those plugs my gas milage went from 30 to 32. Just looking for good reason to replace new plugs.
Will post new thread after I'll teast the car, most likely next week, when I am back to the interstate. |
