Help need mechanic
Looking for a mechanic in Houston area. He used to work for Gillman Mazda of Rosenberg. I believe his name is Brent (?Brett) and is around 50 y.o. He has 2 RX7s and knows the cars.
I have a 2006 Shinka that I let sit for 8 days over Thanksgiving and now it has problems. It will start and idle around 2200, but will not respond to throttle input. The CEL and TSC/DSC light are both on full time. After it warms up the low coolant light comes on (been doing that for a while) even though the level is fine. If anyone has an idea of where he is I'd sure love to know so I can try and get my car to him. If not, any recommendations for the Houston or Victoria dealerships? |
I'd try calling gillman mazda.

I would but they closed down in '07. I tried the Honda guys there to see if anyone knew where he went, but no luck.

You could give rx7club.com a try, maybe he posts there!

Thanks for the feedback. Today is Saturday and on Thursday I went out to wiggle connectors on the chance that some moisture/corrosion may be in play. Started it up and no change, so let it come up to temperature with the engine cover on, then shut it down. For grins/giggles I fired it up again and about 20 seconds later the TSC/DSC light went out, the RPMs dropped down to 1K and I had throttle controls. So I took it down the street and filled 'er up w/ gas. Then the CEL went out and everything seems normal again. The exhaust smells right again, the engine runs like a rocket. Three days in a row everything is good again. Seems strange 'cause it a first time event for me, but then I've never gone more than 3 days w/o driving her.
Maybe she was pouting because I didn't take her to Denver for Thanksgiving? Thanks again for sharing you experience. I didn't find any others that fit what I had. I was worried I was gonna have to trailer 80+ miles to a dealership and I don't have someone I know to shoot straight w/ me on her. Appreciate your advice and will try that next time before I worry too much. |
