k, well i just did a search but couldnt find anything.

im just wondering when u have your car just sitting there idling is it suppose to be smooth? cause mine seems to i wanna say backfire but its deff not back firing its just....hard to explain...like it will go putt putt but not bad and no smoke, and while your sitting inside u can feel it, and its vibrating some. well is that normal? or what causes that. its prob nothing at all its just that i nottice every little thing with this car cause its my baby lol. any info would be good

o and just to let u know, its stock so theres no mods at all

Thanks, Mike

nope. not normal. what rpm does it idle at? have you done a compression test recently?

SIK

um it stays at, the small line under 1K and i havnt done a test since ive had it not sure when the last owner did it. i was gonna wait till sping to bring it for a tune up/comp test

nah def not normal

when was the last time you changed your plugs?? i know its prob not the case but just a thought..also maybe a ground issue?

im currently working on my ground issue

SIK

well i just got the car a month ago, so the only thing ive done to it was an oil change to be on the safe side. so i havnt changed or done anything

o, how many miles does it have?

i would do the normal maintenance routine before jumping in on the technical stuff..i would only imagine it needs it anyway..

SIK

it just hit 65K miles today and it has about 18K on the motor from the rebuilt for the seals

Sounds like misfire, my car does that too, and I am loooking into it.

i would pull the plugs just to be certain, make sure its actually in the right spots..

and a compression check couldnt hurt either..i would like to know the numbers at the 20k mark of the rebuild anyhow..

I dont think it would be foul plugs, mine does that and the plugs and wires are brand new.

k, well im trying to find somewhere to bring my car that deals with rotors and can do a compression test for me. i live in a small *** town so theres not much, i might just have to bring it to the guy that sold it to me cause he works as a mazda master tech, just 3 hrs away...
