    P0441 Code for 2010 Mz5

    I went ahead and got an OEM cap from my local dealer. Seems the aftermarket is a little iffy for those. Beyond that, I'm at a loss. There is some sort of purge valve/solenoid, but I'm having a heck of a time finding it in the parts diagrams.

    P0441 Code for 2010 Mz5

    All, My car has thrown this one three times in the last two months. The first time, my wife recalled having filled the tank the day before and was pretty sure she hadn't tightened the gas cap properly. The second time, it was pretty much the same, except I filled it up. Both times, I reset...

    2006+ Mazda5 Rear Shocks Replacement

    I'm sure it'll be a nice difference. I only changed the rears because the left rear blew out on me and was making an awful racket over bumps, not to mention throwing handling off to an alarming degree.

    2006+ Mazda5 Rear Shocks Replacement

    I know where the jack points are, I just wasn't sure if I could physically set the jack stands on the pinch weld. My Miata has similar markings on its pinch weld, but also has a raised pad at each corner just inside of the pinch weld to rest jack stands on. The Mz5, of course, does not have...

    Where are you guys sticking the jack stands in the rear for this job?

    How To: Make an AUX input for FREE

    For the Miata folks, I have another question... The 2001-2005 Miata uses the same J-02 connector the Mazda6 does, apparently. It appears that the pin-outs are identical. The problem, however, is that there is no Media button on the stock head unit and, as such, pin 13 isn't connected to...

    I have something similar, but it sounds more like the windshield creaking in its mounts. My sliding doors have been noisy since day 1 :(

    BTW...does anyone else notice an oddly musty smell every time the AC gets turned on? It eventually goes away, but comes back if the car is turned off for any good length of time.

    Have you had the car aligned at a competent shop?

    I already do all of those things...doesn't make one bit of difference.

    Much like my Miata (and owners who claim over 30mpg), I'll never understand how you did it without crappy math--or driving downhill for several hours.

    Dislikes about your MAZDA 5

    It's not a matter of rationalizing it out...it's just a downside of a more useful vehicle. Don't worry--I'm not selling it any time soon, lol. I just don't like filling it up almost once a week. I'm frustrated at that, too, but am just as clueless as to what to do about it (since, as far as I...

    Keep in mind I'm coming off a '99 Civic that even with 180k on the clock did 30-35 regularly (with at least one tank at 40) and still have a Miata that will do 24-26 on the same driving and you can see my frustration. My wife's '05 Altima 2.5 will do about 26 or so highway.

    Gas mileage. A 4cyl that gets barely over 20mpg? Kind of disappointing.

    The system doesn't know when I want it to run. I'm smart enough to figure it out. End of story.

    The question is more why you would have the A/C automatically turn on for any reason whatsoever. That I have yet to get a satisfactory response on. Telling me how the A/C works in theory does not explain that.
