I seem to have multiple problems happening at the same time!!
My engine won't start and I thought it was flooded. On the contrary, I need to pump the accelerator and crank several times to get it fired up. That then produces plumes of white vapor/smoke from the exhaust. I am also losing the coolant fluid and there are no visible leaks.
What could be the problem?? And possible solutions??
Thanks

sounds like u might b entering the new engine club....the coolant is possibly a seal blown so you are letting coolant into the combustion chamber and burning it hence some of the white smoke.....Have it taken to ghe mazda dealer and have them look at it....

Looks like I'll have to work on this myself with the local mechanic. No warranty and no dealer. Bought the car used and shipped it overseas to Ghana. I've got exactly 49,471 miles on it

Do a pressure test on the coolant system...and check to see if it pushes coolant into the rotor chambers ( pull spark plugs and check for coolant)........if it does..you need a rebuild to fix the leaky coolant seals

Thanks for all the pointers, Guys. Situation doesn't look good!!
