Stock Intake Problem Leads To More Headaches.
I was having a issue with my Stock Intake. The check engine light came on and i took it to Hamilton Mazda in New Jersey. They told me they had to replace the whole intake system because the secondary value on the intake was not opening correctly. So I had them change it and every since they changed it i would put the heat on and smell antifreeze burning. I took it back there and the guy said that he didn't smell anything. Well the one day i was driving to north jersey one of the antifreeze lines exploded and antifreeze was all over the car. I had mazda roadside assist. take my car to the nearest dealership which was Lodi, NJ. (Mazda roadside took 2 hours to get where i am by the way ) Once Lodi took a look at the car they replaced the hoses for the antifreeze then told me that my steering box was loose. When they replaced the intake at hamilton mazda the tech didn't tighten it all the way which means as i was driving i could have losted my steering. The techs at mazda in lodi told me each bolt was held by two or three thrends of the bolt which could have went out at anytime. The reason why that was touched is because to change the whole intake system on a stick car...the engine needs to be dropped out. And now the car is having idling problems and stalling at a dead stop or parked. So right now the tech at hamilton mazda was fired that worked on my car and the car is at mazda in hamilton.
