Mazda MX6 Repair Questions
Question:
1990 Mazda MX-6 mileage: 135,000. When trying
to accelerate from a stop, the engine will lurch and
shake violently. It is the worst when
letting the clutch out into 1st gear, moderate into 2nd
gear, and above that it runs fine. The lurching
isn't quite as bad if you accelerate slowly, but if you
try to take off fast, it almost stalls out the engine.
Help!
Answer:
Replacing the clutch assembly and motor mounts should
fix the problem. You should check the
accordion-like rubber hose that connects the airflow
sensor to the intake manifold. This hose develops cracks
that allow extra air into the intake manifold when the
engine shifts during acceleration, causing the car to
lurch.

Question: 1995 Mazda MX-6 mileage:
65,000. Hurricane Irene hit my area 2-days ago, and my
car was flooded, water rose to about the door handles. I
have moved the car to dry ground, but it won't start.
When I turn the key the starter is engaging but the
engine feels like its stuck in the position its in. Is
there anything I can do if water is in my engine?
Answer: Check the engine oil for water and
also the gas tank. Change the oil if necessary. If the
engine will not crank over as if it is frozen, remove
the spark plugs and turn the engine over by hand to
remove the water from the cylinders. Dry out the
ignition system – spark plugs, coil, etc. On your engine
are several sensors that feed information to the
computer. Remove the connectors and dry them out. If the
computer got wet, try drying it but be prepared to
replace it.
