  RPMs jumped to 5000 after waiting long time in school pickup traffic

  By Tejones

  2012 Mazda5 Luckily the car did not lurch into traffic in front of me. Turned off. Restarted and it soon happened again. Parked and walked to pick up Grandson. Did not happen again until I got home and stopped in driveway. It was an immediate surge to 5000. Putting in Neutral did not stop it. Help.

  Brake Booster Losing Pressure with Engine Running

  By JeepGuy

  Not sure what I'm missing here. I purchased the new Brake Booster and Heavy duty Alluminum Master cylinder, new proportioning valve, and front disc brake swap. I've bled all the brakes and have a hard pedal with the engine off. As soon as I turn the engine on the pedal gets real soft and I only have hard pedal right before hitting the floor. It's almost like the vacuum is working opposite what it is supposed to be. Vacuum line is connected to bottom port of the carb. Any ideas?

  Mazda Toolbox discount code

  By newtomecx5

  Hi all! I am new here and just purchased a 2018 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring. For the most part, I love this vehicle but my biggest issue is the tech and lack of ability to connect the vehicle to my phone. It looks like the CX-5 came with a Mazda SD card and after some research I would like to update the map system. $85 for a single map update seems a bit crazy to me so I was wondering if anyone had a Toolbox code or knew of a good place to find one? Thanks in advance!

  Adding a rear sliding glass

  By Giorgio_Rampa

  I'm looking at a few 4th models and most of them don't have the rear sliding glass (the truck does have all the other options that I need). For those that have done the swap, is this a direct bolt-on? Is the truck pre-wired for the sliding feature? Anyone installed aftermarket glass or OEM (Mopar) only? Finally, do you have any leaks from swapping the rear window? Thanks in advance!

  More scams. Eveything is a scam.

  By DynaBro

  A while back I posted on curry stinking shitskins from India buying up URLs of closing classic car businesses and hosting fake sites, and scamming buyers. heritageclassicsus.com is another one. heritageclassics.com was legit, but closed. The physical location is now an art studio of some sort. I confirmed this with the Hollywood PD. But since Google is run by Indians, they ley their fellow Indians claim that spot so if you google it it looks legit. The subcontinental sleaze used the name... Read more

  Another FJ62 OM606 swap thread

  By 87freerunner

  I thought id start a thread on here in case my limited knowledge helps someone down the road. Ill start with a little background on my rig and lead into the swap info: I purchased this truck in September of 2024. I found it locally in Austin TX from a coworker's husband who owned it for the last 22 years (only driven 40k miles in 22 years but had 171k on the odometer). The previous owner had a binder of receipts for all the service it in its life and was truly a rust free truck. Even the... Read more
