Sup i just got my car back on the road, went thru 4 tranny swaps and finally got a good one. The car was auto and not its 5speed, so i had to get the crossmember welded on with a special bracket. Ever since my cars been sitting outside for a while a number of problems have arised.

the car takes about 10 seconds or more to start after its been off for a day. But after i start it up that day its starts up after 3 or 4 seconds.

Also the sensor for 5th / reverse broke off where can i get a new one (mazdatrix dont have it, from what i loooked at)

EDIT: Also when my cars idling and i give it gas , it boggs right before returning to idle is that normal ( i do have an exhaust leak , missing the left canister lol)

#1 your picture in your signature exceeds the height allowed by the admins, by about 118 pixels. Please fix it before it is deleted.

#2 Sounds like you have low compression. What is the compression on the motor???

#3 the same reverse switch can be found at any mazda dealer, it is a pretty common part as the same switch is used in the FD, NA, NB, and a couple of other mazdas.

 

# 1. Do what u want. cant believe ure measuring the pixels. Its linked to my site not uploaded on the forum

#2. Can the compression go down that much by not driving the car. It was totally fine before i did the tranny swap.

# 3. what is it called exactly, its just the 5th /reverse switch?

I've gone to them and they can never fiond the part number. Do you by chance know what it is or a service manual that actually shows it(for a TII tranny)?

As a temp solution I ended up getting an oil drain plug from Ace Hardware which plugged it. It would be nice to have reverse lights.

 

actually I have nothing to do with it. The Admins of the site specficy that signatures and pictures to be no bigger than 6 lines of text, with pictures themselves to be less than 400x200 pixels. Just warning you that it will be deleted by an admin without any warning if it is not fixed.

, yep
