im pretty sure its for the cold start system

 

are you supposed to put water in it or something?

 

no your supposed to remove it

 

really? i can just take it out without any negative effects?
thanks

 

If you get snow in your area, just leave it alone. That is the Subzero canister. If you remove it. There will be a nipple on the inner middle of lower intake manifold that will need to be blocked.

 

cool thanks. so you're not supposed to put water in there?? i just can't wrap my mind around a bit reservoir that you don't put anything in.
thanks again.

 

usually coolant goes in there. I had my car since 2000 dont use it in the winter so I havent had to fill it yet.

 

That is the sub zero start assist. What is suppose to go in there is a 80% anti freeze 20% water mix. Mazda has a service bulletin to remove/disable the system. Like said before, if you remove it there is a vac line that needs to be capped.
