Mga Boss,

Tulong nman. Yung isang auto ko mazda323 matic may Idling problem and beside that minsan pag tumatakbo, pag inapakan mo accelerator parang hihina sya. parang lalo syang d maka pwersa. Servo kit b problem nun? i have already cleaned the servo kit and also change the air filter. Pwede rin kya na sensor ng air cleaner or fuel filter? Have u ever experience this kind of problem?

Need advice pls

Try a new fuel filter or have the catalytic converter checked to see if its plugged. Also, when was the last time you tune up your car?

Sir Razor, makikisakay na rin ako sa post mo, ha? I have the same problem I think. 1997 Mazda 323 EFi, yung idling baba-taas. Hindi namana apektado ng pag-on ng aircon. Three times na ako namatayan kapag nilipat sa R or D3 kasi bumabagsak ng todo pag nilipat. Mahina din ang hatak minsan sa simula. Ano kaya problema? I've read in some threads that it could be because of a dirty throttle body, or something like that.

First time to own an EFi, so I don't know where to have it checked. Any suggestions? Q.C. area preferrably. Any Mazda expert mechanics or shops out there other than casa? Thanks in advance for your help.

Sana maayos yung kotse natin, sir Razor!

common problem ng 323 familia. try nyong linisin yung MAF sensor. ito naging problem ko dati ng kay tagal. ilang beses ako nagpalit ng sparkplug (from regular to 4-tip to platinum), palit din ng high tension wires, air filter tube, linis ng throttle body, pati distributor napalitan ko na!

tapos i heard about the MAF getting dirty sa mga nissan. inisip ko baka same lang sa mazda. ginawa ko na lang, kuha akong contact cleaner. then disconnect the air filter box dun sa tube. may maliit na box dun sa dulo ng tube. yun yung MAF sensor. pagsinilip mo sa loob, may 2 or 3 wires na parang nakasabit. spray it directly at a distance with contact cleaner. pero ingat na hindi maputol yung wires. kung mangyari yun, patay ka hehe. let dry for a while. then ulit ulitin hanggang kumintab na sa linis yung wires. then check if nag ok na yung idling.

this was the cheapest solution i tried and it worked. di na bumalik yung idling problem ko after.

HTH

Mga Guys thank sa mga advice nyo. Gagawin ko yan sa saturday den balitaan ko kyo.

Bombitmd,

Gawin mo na rin to.

Hanapin ko din yang MAF na yan. Titingnan ko muna kung kaya ko gawin on my own.

Salamat sa mga advice! Sana mag-work na ito

no prob!

yung symptoms kasi sa akin dati ay parang sinisinok pero hindi naman tuluyang namamatayan. parang nabibitin nga sa hatak except pag full throttle. pero yun nga, hassle kasi parang pabigla bigla ang andar.

try nyo rin linisin at i-regap (1.1 mm/0.034 cm ata ang sa familia) ang sparkplugs. basta try the cheapest-and safest-solutions muna.

good luck and balita na lang sa results.

Sirs,

Paano tanggalin yung filter/MAF housing from that big hose-like thing? Na buksan ko na mismo yung filter box (I could see the MAF na! dumi nga!) pero hindi ko matanggal yung filter cover/MAF housing; hatak lang ba yun? I already removed the clamp from the hose, too. Ang tigas eh

**coiter** · March 18th, 2009 10:33 AM

wag mo nang tanggalin yung MAF. from the top ng air filter housing/box diba nasilip mo na yung MAF? dun mo na lang ispray. basta dapat yung direction mo is yung normal travel ng air (filter to engine). yun din lang ginawa ko kasi hindi ko rin matanggal yung MAF mismo. yung contact cleaner ko may parang extension tube sya so madidirect mo yung spray dun. make sure lang na pwedeng pang electronics yung contact cleaner mo at hindi matatamaan ng tube yung sensors.

Sige, ganun na nga lang gagawin ko. Pero ang nabili ko carburator cleaner (may nabasa kasi ako somewhere dito na carb cleaner yung ginamit, ok naman daw). Palitan ko na lang siguro ng electronic cleaner para safe? Since mas sensitive ang electronics, siguro safe yun gamit para dito sa MAF. Tsaka walang kasamang extender yung carb cleaner ko. Salamat uli! Will let you know kung ok kalabasan mamaya; palitan ko muna yung carb cleaner ko.
