If you are getting fewer miles to the gallon or your Mazda is not as peppy as it use to be, it may be an indication that your ignition system needs attention.
Tune-ups in the traditional sense are a thing of the past. Because of electronic ignition and fuel injection, many cars today including your Mazda require only that you change the spark plugs around 100,000 miles. While you are under the hood of your Mazda, also check the condition of the distributor cap and wire harness. If the cap is cracked or broken, it is time for a replacement. The same with the wire harness – any cracked or broken wires means it is time to change them, too.
Less-than-optimum gas mileage could indicate that an oxygen sensor is malfunctioning or worn out in your Mazda ignition system. Have a reputable mechanic check it for you. Getting the best gas mileage not only saves you money; it is easier on the environment. Fewer miles-to-the-gallon and poor performance may also indicate the one or more of the following Mazda components need replacement: the power programmer, the performance chip or the performance module.
This is your Mazda Cars ‘N Parts access page to contact reliable sellers of the aforementioned parts, plus distributor rotors, starters, and many other ignition parts that are essential for the proper running and maintenance of your Mazda. Use it well.
