- 2007 Mazda 5
So here is an update to my previous problems. Here is the recap (Ok my car has been running rough lately.2007 Mazda 5. While I am in gear(waiting at a light for example) and the defrost is on the engine losses power sputters and almost stalls. With dfrost off its better but still sputters once in a while. Also it hesitates on acceleration.) I find it also does it while other accessories are on. Light's/wipers/heater. I have spent a ton of money on this issue without a proper solution. Here is the update of what has been done...
Mazda dealer did the following.
Preformed Throttle body service. No effect.
Was told that PCV Hose was torn and tear intermittently opens up intake manifold has minor vacuum leak at buttery fly shaft.
They went to service it and found that PCV was ok. PVC has reinforcement to prevent it from collapsing over time. So they didn't replace them because they where not a problem. ( So they lied to me about it being torn...assholes!)
Test drove it and still has the same problems.
disabled the AC compressor...still the same problems.
Checked for error codes- None!
Checked fuel pressures is ok(Reads 380kPa @ idle
So because they needed to make some money off of me. They insisted that I change engine mount #3 because it was broken. (I was but I knew that it wasn't the problem.)
I asked them if fixing the mount would fix the engine problem.....no clean answer other than they wouldn't proceed unless they and that mount fixed.
Fine I said....guess what.....same results...but the engine is muchs more quieter....
At that point I was done with Freeway Mazda,Surrey,BC,Canada.
I got a complete list of everything that they did to show to someone else.

Budget Brake & Muffler
Showed them everything that was done by Mazda.
They too are having trouble pinpointing this issue.
So tried a Fuel Injection Cleaning Service.
I worked!! No hesitation or rough idle or stumble. Then the next day I was driving around and it started to stubble and hesitate of acceleration. All the same issues as before came back! WTF!!
I called the mechanic and he said there is a treatment in the fuel. I am to drive it around for a couple of days and see if it improves. If not to bring it back to them. $$$ going bye bye.
The battery has been checked -Good
The alternator is putting out the proper volts 13.
The sparks plugs are good. They are the correct ones. (Replaced them a couple of months ago.)
I am getting really frustrated! Does anyone have any other ideas that could help in solving this issue??? Pls!!
