Mazda MPV

Not true, it has a filter.

Under the hood, drivers side, small square box labeled diagnostics.

It's actually hard to miss.

I don't have the least idea but it should tell you in your owners manual. Just about all auto owner manuals show how to change various bulbs and other pretinent data. Wish I could tell you more. With the liftgate open, you can see 2 screws on the black flange of the fixture that you must remove. Once the screws are out, bang the fixture with the palm of your hand sideways away from the vehicle. eg for the right fixture bang right. This is because it's held in by 2 snap pins aimed laterally into the vehicle and using another direction could break one. That'll do it, the fixture is out and you can see the sockets on the back of it.

First dont read the book, If it is V6 3.0 engine. Remover the upper radior hose, remove all belts, remove the fan and shroud as one unit. Unbolt the pump, install in reverse Do not believe the previous post. You have to remove the upper hose, bypass hose, fan/shroud. Then remove the alt. idler pulley and the AC idler pulley/bracket. THEN remove the plastic covering that protects the timing belt. THEN you can access the water pump bolts. While you are there, check the timing belt and tensoner. Replace them, along with the water pump..you've got it all taken apart anyway, right? You do not have to remove the radiator. Replace the bypass hose, because it is a PAIN to do so later! Good luck. Get the manual.

1.8 mazda etude 1998 con rod torque spec

Every time that a spark plug its changed, the new plug needs to be calibrated ( regularly at .45 ), sometimes the new plugs are not calibrated.

It's in the pump, which is in the tank. The book says 1.8 hours is charged. The filter is around $35.

Must likely the oil cover gaskets are leaking. It is easy to fix but if you are not practical better pay someone do it

push it forward the it should come off

You can tell if you're head gasket has been compromise by looking into the coolant reservoir, with the engine running. When the head gasket is compromised there will be air bubbles in the coolant reservoir.

There are two ways the firing order is specified. It's actually the same firing order, because the cylinder numbers is specified in two different ways as well. This is the sequence without numbers. The front two cylinders go first, passenger side first, then drivers side. then the middle two cylinders, passenger side first, then drivers side, then the rear cylinders fire last, again, passenger side first, then drivers side. #1 terminal on the distributor is the terminal closest to the center of the engine. The distributor rotates clockwise from there.

It is an interference engine. Severe engine damage will occur if the belt breaks. The belt should be changed every 60,000 miles.

Do not believe the previous post. Your Mazda engine is a Non-Interference engine....the belt can break....replace the belt and tensioner (with Mazda OEM parts only -trust me on this) and you are good to go. There will not be any related valve damage.

Note: Some manuals do indicate incorrectly 89-98 MPVs are an interference engine...This is not true; says I, a certified mechanic.

I remove the transmission dip stick and insert a funnel to fill it right there.

the negative cable is the one tha go to the chassy or the engine . And the positive go to the fuse box.

This is a ford engine and the cylinders are numbered starting with the rear head passenger side, the rear is 1,2,3, and the front head is #4,5,6 from the fan belt end. In other words the #4 cylinder is the front one on the right side of the vehicle.

Open the hood. Look at the left wheel well, behind the battery and down a little. You will see the canister bolted to the wheel well.

Yes it will cause it for sure. You will get DTC of P0170/P0173. Car will drive rough.

Have you repaired the problem that cause the light to come on in the first place? If not the light will just come back on. You reset the light with an OBD2 scan tool.

WITH THE BACK DOOR OPENED, THERE ARE TWO SCREWS THAT NEED TO BE REMOVED FROM THE BACK OF THE LIGHT. THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO COME STRAIGHT OUT, BUT ACTUALLY IT NEEDS TO BE PULLED TOWARDS THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THERE ARE TWO CLIPS THAT HOLD THE ASSEMBLY IN FROM THE SIDE. JUST PULL IT STRAIGHT OUT. SOME FORCE MAY BE NEEDED. TURN THE SOCKET ENOUGH TO PULL THE BULB OUT AND INSPECT FOR BURNED OUT FILIMENT. TAKE IT WITH YOU TO PURCHASE THE NEW ONE, BECAUSE THE PART #'S AT THE STORE MAY NOT MATCH. REPLACE, PUSH CLIPS BACK INTO THE HOLES THEY CAME FROM AND SCREW BACK THE WAY IT WAS.

In the corner of the window is a black plastic triangle. Take a flat head screw driver and pop it off. It has some plastic tabs that hold it on. Then you will see 3 screws. Unscrew them. Rock the mirror assembly with your hand and it should fall off. You will then notice a connector for the mirror motor. Disconnect it. Replace in reverse order.

The 2.5 litre V6 engine in a 2000 Mazda MPV has timing CHAINS

I did this yesterday. For exterior drivers handle i removed door cover, with window up, you can see the handle attachments. Unscrew and replace. i got my parts from eBay and had to buy washers and nuts. about 1 hour for a novice. inside door panel you will find an electric disconnect for windows. also, easy disconnect for mechanism and don't forget to replace lock, which is also easy.

It's in front of driver wheel! It is necessary to remove a forward casing (it is attached to a wing) there it will be! It near to system of preliminary cooling.
