Mazda MPV

Hooking up jumper cables incorrectly can cause several issues, including damage to the vehicles' electrical systems. If the positive and negative cables are reversed, it can lead to a short circuit, potentially blowing fuses or damaging the battery and other electronic components. In some cases, it may also cause sparks, smoke, or even a fire. Always ensure the correct connections: positive to positive and negative to a grounded metal surface on the dead vehicle.

If only cold air is blowing out of the rear vents in your 2001 Mazda MPV, it could be due to a malfunctioning blend door actuator, which controls the mix of hot and cold air. Another possibility is a low refrigerant level in the AC system, affecting its ability to produce warm air. Additionally, a blocked or malfunctioning heater core could prevent warm air from reaching the rear. It's advisable to have a professional diagnose the issue for a proper fix.

In a 1995 Mazda MPV, the cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment. To access it, you typically need to remove the glove box by unfastening the screws or clips that hold it in place. Once the glove box is out of the way, you can find the filter cover, which can be removed to replace the cabin air filter.

1. raise the fornt of the vehicle up so that you can lay under the front end. 2. drain the coolant from the radiator. all of it. 3. follow the lower radiator hose form the radiator to the engine. you will see 3 bolts. remove the hose, then take the bolts out and pull the pipe off. 4. remove the thermostat. 5. take the new thermostat, install the new rubber gasket around the edge of the thermostat just like what's on the old one. 6. reverse removal instructions to install 7. pour new coolant into the radiator but do not fill all the way up. start engine, do not put radiator cap on yet, let engine warm until thermsotat opens, about 10 to 15 mins. some coolant will come out of the cap opening, this is normal, the coolant level should drop, fill up with coolant at this time and install the radiator cap. IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO GET THE AIR OUT OF THE SYSTEM, AS THIS MAY CAUSE IT TO OVERHEAT.

I think it might have the same problem as my jeep ,,,it only go forward and when i shift the gear to reverse...it won't. Have ask around was told it have to be the transmission (Ugh! an expensive repair)

Change engine oil and filter with correct viscosity after using engine flush treatment. If noise still persists up PROMAR oil additive, it works a treat.

The 2002 Mazda MPV 3.0 liter engine has four cylinders. The number four cylinder will be the very back cylinder.

An MPV stands for "multi-person vehicle" and is the name given to people carriers.

It's run by the same serpentine belt that runs the AC and alternator. The water pump is on the other end of the engine. Changing a serpentine belt is relatively easy. The tensioner pully must be held in the loose position with a 3/8" ratchet and the belt can be yanked out. Follow the diagram on the sticker in the engine bay to install the new one.

The 2000 Mazda IAT sensor can be found on the back of the engine. The IAT sensor will be just above the bell housing.

Had the same problem, it was the automatic idler valve. Not an expensive part and easily changed.

If your odometer reads more than 75,000mi then I would. Make sure you set the plug gap to the manufacturer recommendation (the parts store can tell you this). Also don't scrimp on your plugs. Don't buy cheap platinum plugs or "new designs". A plain platinum or double platinum will do just fine. Don't get less than platinum or you'll be re-doing the job in two years. Personally I would recommend either a Motorcraft or NGK for a Mazda.

Also, be especially careful to twist the plug wire boots before pulling on them, but don't be mad if they come apart anyway. Just to make it easier next time and helps to prevent misfires-- add some silicone dielectric grease inside the plug boots before re-installing them. The parts store will also be able to sell you a small package that's just enough. For a six cylinder, this job might run you $75, unless you have to replace the plug wires. If they come apart, they'll have to be replaced.

Manual states that you "should not" pry out the front crankshaft seal, but should drop the oil pan and then remove the front pump where the seal is. I was able to "very carefully" use a small pick and from the outer edge gently pry and work my way around the seal. Once the seal started to budge it was just a matter of carefully prying and making sure you don't touch the crank surface where the seal rides. This saved me a bunch of time and just be careful when you seat the new seal. Seat to exact depth the old one was at.
