problems with fd

Ok 2 problems I'm having with my new car was rebuilt 30k ago running non seq
First is problems starting I have to floor it to start and when its cold it starts up right away but when I've been driving it takes about a minute or more to acualy crank bat is good.
Second on started today I go threw stop and go traffic for 15 min get out and 10 miles later my car starts cutting out really bad and wants to die I think I have some air in my clutch lines cuz I'm loosing pressure.
Anyone got ideas? Plz text me at 2294128059 I'm stuck in atlanta and gotta drive to mississippi tomorrow.

Sounds like you could possibly have a blown motor. I would suggest seeking a rotary shop, or a Mazda dealership.

Its hard to understand what your problem is. You say you have to floor it to start then you say it starts up right away when cold? You always have to floor it to start or only when warm? If its when only warm then check your compression while the motors warm. Stuck apex seals will seal worse when warm because the rotor housing will slightly expand giving you lower compression. Search for ROTOR TREATMENT. people use seafoam power steering fluid and Marvel Myster Oil

Sounds like your getting a voltage drop out to the S terminal on the starter. A few problems are corrosion in the circuit, bad connection at the starter, dieing solenoid, or the factory alarm starter cut relay under the driver kickpanel. Measure voltage at the s terminal when its warmed up. You can bypass the relay with a jumper wire but your factory alarm starter cut will be disabled.


If you dl the FSM they have a whole list of things for hard to start to check out.

Dont ever take your car to mazda. Ever.
