Engine Problems
 

Well 2nite on as i was pulling away from a stop sign my engine made a weird clunk noise and my check engine light was blinking all over the place then my car dies no power steering nothing all i get when i try to start the car all i get is flames coming out the back just pop pop flames. And Yea if this help i did have a misfire come from cylinder 2 when i checked on friday

How old are you ?

You got flames? Is the car stock? Do you have a cat?

im 21 years old if that matters got the car back in 2006 brand new and only have 40,164 miles it

all i have is a midpipe and exhaust

Have you ever change ur plugs ?

Also, your coil has failed. you are out of warranty so u have to buy a new set. about 100 bux

no i havnt changed the plugs because i really havnt drove the car till may this is and im getting a bunch of problems with it and. how would i be out of warranty

ok i check plugs and got the car started, the car sounds like an old lawn more tryin to stay on and all i get is white smoke coming from my exhaust which has a different smell than me just running the mid pipe the car wont even rev and the car runs super ruff.

Coolant leak?

^ how so?

was thinking you got a blown engine.... that was exactly how my shyt died too.. jus bunch of back fires and BLURPBLURP and CLunking.lol..... hopefully not. and if so take ur cat off and all ur Aftermarket crap.

good luck.

oyyy, lawnmower sound = bad.. sounds like a seal probably went... :(

i would take it into mazda asap, get that midpipe out of there first though..

yep yep i will be taking my shop early in the morning when the shop opens and hopefully get me a loner car

you got it at 06 brand new and 40K miles you never changed your plugs ?

I think I see where the problem is : "User abuse"

Well, yours is a 06, bumper to bumper warranty should be over by now. You still have powertrain warranty. put your cat and exhaust back on and bring it to Mazda. You better hope that the dealership will not question you for *have you ever change your plugs*

Your coils might be failing or already failed. Dealership will check it.

P.S. : I dont get it, why people wants to run straight pipes, they love the carbon monoxide or something ?

i think they dont like the cold, global warming ftw!

/sarcasm

They don't want to afford a new cat... idk

How might that cause a seal failure, the gas isn't burning off and dissolving the oil? Or do you just mean they be looking for any way out of the repair?

I was thinking about the white smoke (water vapor) and water in the engine. I don't really have a clue how that could happen in the rotary though, no head gasket to fail.

if the seals fail in rotary, coolant can leak.

if the plugs are too old, it might break off and take one of the rotor housing to rotary heaven with it.

Cool, thanks for the clarification :)

here is a clip from my cell phone i took yesterday trying to get it started

EDIT: Nevermind, OP fixed the link.

Thats bad.

I see water ...


Take ur midpipe and exhaust off, bring it to MAzda dealer, u should be still under powertrain warranty, and it should cover ur problem.

ok an update i drop the car off on Tuesday and now from what i been told i have no compression at all. So they said i need a new motor and now they are trying to see a log or receipts of me doing an oil change on the car which i don't have. I change the oil in my car well before the 3000 mile mark all the time. what to do next?

now if your 8's at the dealer and they are looking at ur service records, then jus wait it out and no need to worry if you kept up to date on everything. :)

if they give you any bullshyt about other shyt and not willing to cover, just go to another dealership and find out if they can do it for you instead. =]

yea they tried that on me with the service records and b.s. but the only record i have on file is an oil change was back in october 2007 i changed it back in april because the car was sitting since then. it got cleared up because when they checked the miles on the car they seen that only about 3000 something miles were put on the car with in the 6 month time frame
