Please Help! 96 MX6 Problem

**Mac** · 01-21-2008, 01:04 PM

Okay guys I'm a Mazda Noob. I really like this MX6 though. 2.5 L V6, Auto. I want to fix it.

The car seems strong, mechanically it's okay... After it warms up it starts this crap... Video of MX6 Problem 1 - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

It seems like the warmer it gets the worse the problem becomes. It makes the car undrivable, always falling on it's face. I have another vid I'll post up in a minute or two.

Second Vid: Video of MX6 Problem 2 - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
I've been through the vacuum lines, replaced the MAF or VAM (whatever they call it) checked electrical connections... I scanned a P1195 code, I fixed the EGR boost sensor and it went away. The CEL flashes right before it falls on it's face the disappears. There is no constsnt CEL and no codes stored in the computer. The guy I bought it from says he replaced the entire distributor assembly new. I was thinking ignition problem like a crank sensor or something, but then wouldn't the problem be all the time, not just when it warms up? WTF?

Please help!

That's a usual problem with maf, but since you've replaced that it actually that looks like your coil is on its way out. Try a new disty yet? The KLDE and the KFDE are horrible with disties and when mine went i had the same problems. until i got no spark whatsoever.
