Not my day
Just got off work. Happy to get In the 8 and drive home. But what do I see when I turn the car on Check engine light :(. And Mazda is closed right now. Hope nothing too bad

Autozone, Advance Auto Parts, and O'reilly's FTW.
|
yup, most of those auto part stores will pull the code for free.
|
Went to autozone it was p0455 :(
|
lol could be way worse man.
See if your gas cap is tight, it might be leaking. |
lol definitely not a big issue. Like Arca said, check your gas cap. maybe you didn't tighten it enough, which is surprisingly a very common problem. I had this problem too, and fortunately all I needed was a new gas cap.
|
Talked to Mazda. They say it's the gas cap an will cost 135 too replace!!!! •___• are they serious !
|
lol, i had the same problem with may car multiple times with this light and i got mine replaced for no where near that at mazda, and I remember thinking it was still a lot, if i recall correctly was like 50 or so and was thinking still charged me like 10 to put on...amh, but ill have to check when i get home to make sure, but that is a lot to put on
|
Could the bad gas cap be the answer to my bad gas mileage :)
|
lol, i wish that were the case, but i doubt it although i have been getting better mpg, since not only the fix, but i have cut some of my restrictions in exhaust, basically everything but cat, which could also help, used to get around 16 and been getting 18-20 last 3 fill ups and intake and igniton next to come to see if can bring it up even more. Im going to check bill when i get home to verify bill, but you could just buy cap from them and put it on yourself depending on how much they are charging you for labor.
|
I'm pretty sure you can buy a generic gas cap from O'Reilly's or something for about 10 bucks. I'd check there first.
Dealership is trying to work you over. |
They said they have to clean some gunk out of where the gas goes b/c the bad gas cap let it build up or something like that.

bs. |
How about you go to your car, pap the gas cap lever, remove your gas cap, and have a look to see if there's any gunk built up.
I'm sure you would have noticed this gunk, if there was any there, when you last filled up your car, but I have no idea if you pay attention to things like this when you're filling up your car. BC. |
Don't always believe the stealerships, they will rip you off! Just change it yourself, its easy and its much cheaper than the stealerships.
|
I'm glad the dealership I got my 8 from doesn't bs around, at least with me. Then again, I only drop stuff off if it's either broken, and I don't want to/don't have the tools to deal with it, or it's free, haha.
But hopefully it is just the gas cap. Could be a couple other things, but usually it's the gas cap. |
