my 87 n/a is making a loud beebing noise it beebs and pauses for a sec and beebs again ect. it strats about 5 min after i start driving. my spediomitor cable broke just beforr it started and my sub-zero starting system fluid reservoir is almost empty would any of those have any thing to do with it and what could it be. help!!!!!!

 

The beeping is your power steering computer. The solution is to change your broken speedometer cable. Make sure it is actually broken and not just loosened/dislodged. If it is broken, and you can get the entire cable out of the housing, simply buy a new cable from a mazda dealer (should be about 40 bucks), take the new cable out of the new housing, and slide it up the old housing. If you can't get the entire cable out of the housing (for example, it snapped in the middle of the cable) you will have to take off your steering wheel and remove the speedometer/tachometer housing to replace it.

 

thanks alot i know its broken the little piece is in the tranny i just screwed back on for now thanks alot

 

where is the cable

 

Is the engine running hot? Beeping could also be low coolant. Or 7000 rpm.

 

Oh yeah and what the hell is a power steering computer?

And Josh, you're sure its the sub-zero reservoir and not the coolant reservoir?!?!
