The Mazda Tribute has been production since model year 2007. The exact fuel filter will vary by year. The OEM fuel filter for the 2011 Mazda Tribute with the 3.0L V6 is Ford Motorcraft #FG872.

The heater on the 03 Mazda Tribute is going in and out. What is the problem and how can it be fix?

The check engine light comes on and stays on when a problem is detected by the self diagnosis system of your vehicle.

Generally, a check engine light is lit when there is a problem in the emissions or somthing that is affecting the effectiveness of the emissions.

Most Likely -

The Millenias and their Commonwealth cousins the "Xedos" all suffered a common defect resulting in MOST CEL issues. This engine configuration typically results in the need for replacement of 1 to 2 O2 sensors and / or the DREADED Knock Sensor embedded deep in the Manifold assembly. Mine ran 3 years with this CEL on due to the cost of labour to replace. The sensor was only 165 bucks while the labour to install was nearly 800.

I will admit once it was replaced I was not only legal again for the Emmissions test, but the thing ran better than it ever did PLUS I got nearly 2 points to my highway Mileage.

Now the codes are confusing on this because two of the O2 sensors share the same circuit and the code wont necessarily identify WHICH o2 is actually bad, that unfortunately is hit or miss. The KNOCK sensor code is separate and distinct however but all of this results in a costly set of repairs.

Good Luck

the belt is simple to change you actually have two one is the powersteering belt and the other is ac belt. you need to first lower the top pulley closest to the front of the engine remove the belt of the three pulleys then lower the alternator using the tension screw and remove the pulley to install just follow in reverse

For a 4 cil. 4.5 qts. For the 3.0 V6 6 qts.

yes, it will only take whats meant to be in it.. if you do put it in your rods and pistons might bend

No, timing chains are designed to last the life of the engine. They are normally replaced during a complete engine rebuild.

When the vehicle is not running it will not stay in 4x4. The new vehicles of today are not put in four wheel drive by pulling a lever, they are placed in four wheel drive by pushing a button. When pushing that button it engages the small motor in your transfer case telling it to apply pressure either by air or hydrolics. When the vehicle is in the off position it is not telling the transfer case to hold in the four wheel drive position. If the vehicle is stuck in four wheel drive when it is running you need to find out if it is all wheels drive all the time or it is only 2 wheel drive until you place it in either 4hi or 4lo.

Timing CHAIN ( 2.3 liter 4 cylinder and 3.0 liter V6 engines )

on the v6 engine. look at the throttle body, below that you see the fuel line, and blow that you see where the fat radiator hose goes into the motor, its behind that! after you pull the rubber tube out, I used a deep socket to twist it out. test fit the socket with your replacement valve. not exactly the right shape, but works.

Directly under the thermostat housing. Drivers side.

A 2002 Mazda MPV 3.0 V6 has a timing chain.

It looks a lot like a picture of a capitol building. It may be intended to look like a radiator

yep

The 2004 Mazda Tribute 4 cylinder model has a timing belt. The Mazda Tribute V6 has a timing chain................."BUKUBU!LT".........B I G Island HAWA!!......

Go to AutoZone and ask one of the fellas to come out and "check your check engine light code". They will be able to tell you what the problem code is, as well as re-set your check engine light.

To the right hand side of the steering column behind the fascia, down quite low.

How do you replace headlight bulb on 2004 Mazda Tribute?

The 3.0 litre V6 engine in a 2002 Mazda Tribute has ( 1 ) timing CHAIN to each

cylinder head , so there are ( 2 timing CHAINS )

A Fitting Tribute was created on 2007-08-20.

I sell Mazda, Today I sold one Tribute, filling the tank, I note, that there was not a gas cap, When I came back to my delership, I did check other Tributs, all without gas cap.

sounds like your power steering pump is going out, I just replaced mine, cost was $500, unless you do it yourself then it's like $200.

You don't. You have to tear apart half of the front end to get to the alternator,.. might as well buy another car.

The Mazda Tribute has 4 plugs (4-cylinder)

The 3.0L V-6 has six plugs.
