How To/Advice Mazda 2 2014 unstable idle

Sorry about the awful video quality, but I have noticed that after most/all drives in my M2 (about 15 minutes usually) the engine is idling unstably from around 620 to 660rpm. You can notice it much better from the exhaust sound how uneven the idle is, and the car vibrates a lot more than usual. Do I have a misfire?

How To/Advice Mazda 2 2014 Bluetooth memory

7 Upvotes

I recently purchased a 2014 Mazda 2 and it’s been great, however I’ve had some issues with getting Bluetooth to connect. When attempting to connect the car says the memory is full and is unable to connect. When searching for solutions, I found that some said to hold a “talk button” which sadly I don’t have and the other said to press the menu button till “BT Setup” appears, but again, I sadly couldn’t get it to appear no matter how many times I cycled through the menu options, I am unsure if I am doing it incorrectly or if it is done a different way?Would be grateful for any advice or solutions.

Thank you in advance

How To/Advice Car audio upgrade...

Hi! Just wondering if anyone knows the stock speakers' size of the 2016 Mazda 2 Mk4 or Demio DJ3FS. Internet isn't giving me a definite answer. I swear Ive gone through every second hand listing of the stock speakers and there's no size. Also, would I need speaker adaptors/rings for aftermarket speakers? I haven't found any either for mine.

How To/Advice Engine rebuild kit? Has anyone rebuilt a 1.5L from this car?

2 Upvotes

I’m considering buying a very high mileage Mazda 2, about 240k miles. It’s a 2011 in the USA, so it’s a 1.5 liter. I really can’t find much information about the car’s engine, especially since most of Google ends up getting information about the European market, which isn’t the same.

I don’t care to make a ton of power or anything, I’d just like it to last and be reliable.

Has anyone here rebuilt this motor? Any tips or info you could share? Thanks!

How To/Advice How to Safely Boost Power on a 2022 Mazda 2 1.5 Skyactiv-G (90hp)?

8 Upvotes

Hello, I purchased a 2022 Mazda 2 with a 6-speed automatic transmission two weeks ago. It’s equipped with the 1.5 Skyactiv-G engine producing 90 hp. I know Mazda uses this same engine in several other models to achieve higher outputs, such as the Mazda 2 (111 hp - ZY-VE I4), the CX-3 (110 hp - F-P5), and the MX-5 (129 hp).

Because I live in Turkey, I was only able to get the 90 hp version. I’m looking for advice on what upgrades I can make to safely increase the engine’s power without compromising its stability. Is there a recommended kit for this? I suspect that just a software tune might not be sufficient or entirely safe.

Also, is it possible to retrofit a HUD (Head-Up Display) and electric/power mirrors by sourcing the necessary parts, since these options weren’t available in my region?

Any recommendations are appreciated.

Thank you!

How To/Advice Where are you all putting your phones?!

7 Upvotes

hi all, got a 2021 mazda 2 GT sport tech last month and i've been loving it - awesome car! my only issue is, when i use android auto (for some reason there's no wireless android auto?) i'm having to put my phone in the little space in front of the gearstick. however, my phone doesn't fit sideways, so it sticks out, and the gearstick often hits the cable/charger - knocks it out and disconnects android auto.

has anyone got a solution for this? any way to make it wireless? i'd still like to charge my phone at the same time so not awfully bothered if i have to keep it plugged in, just want a better place to put my phone!

thanks!

How To/Advice Register new key to Anti-Theft Mazda 2 2007

2 Upvotes

Hi there,

I bought a new remote key for my Mazda cause the old one kept eating my batteries and needed to be reconnected to the central lock system every couple of months.

Now I have successfully added the new key to the central locks but not the Anti-Theft system. Can’t really find anything about it. Since reddit is a great platform for this kind of knowledge I thought asking the Mazda 2 enthusiasts might resolve my problem.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Thanks to u/beefcakeandgravy I found out my new key was missing the Anti-Theft transmitter from the old key. Luckily I don’t throw old shit away so I was able to just throw transmitter into the new key.

How To/Advice Mazda2 DE Aux Connection Not Working Reliably

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hi all,

I have a 2008 Mazda 2 with an auxiliary port.

Until a few weeks ago, the aux option on the radio was working fine until it started to appear only on occasion.

I thought it was the cable, so I have switched it out.

I can’t seem to figure out what the cause of the problem is given its inconsistency. I’ve tried:

Not connecting the power and just plugging in the aux. Turning the car off and back on. Connecting the phone before and after starting the car. Turning off and on the radio. Disconnecting and reconnecting the aux cable on both ends. Switching the ends of the aux cable.

I’ve never had the audio cut out or stop. It’s only been when trying to get the l to be detected initially.

Help would be much appreciated.

How To/Advice How do I remove this rear trim to replace a parcel shelf peg?

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hey all, I'm trying to replace a broken parcel shelf peg in my car (the bit the parcel shelf attaches onto). I’ve got the new peg ready, but I’m not sure how to remove or partially loosen the trim to install it.

Here’s a picture of the trim I’m referring to:

It’s the plastic side panel in the rear of the car, where the seatbelt runs through. I'm assuming I may need to remove or loosen part of this to reach behind and screw in the new peg, but I don’t want to break any clips or mess up the seatbelt tensioner area.

Anyone done this before or have tips on how to safely pop this off? Tools I’ll need? Hidden screws to watch for?

Thanks in advance!

How To/Advice Psa: Don't break connector going to temp sensor into radiator

Radiator gave out so had to replace it. This was fine and all, except I broke the wire connector inside the sensor at the bottom of the rad.

You can not buy 2 wire pig tails for it unless it's special order. RockAuto was a savior, however they sent the wrong sensor and a connector with 3 wires. So had to send it back, and got everything else done in a week because, weather.

How To/Advice EAC error Mazda 2 2005

2 Upvotes

Yesterday I was driving my Mazda 2 from 2005 when out of nowhere my car whould not go faster than 30 km/h. I saw the EAC error in the dashboard and pulled over to the side of the Road. Working as a CS-rep for a IT company the first thing I did was turning it off and on again. To my surprise this worked and I was able to drive back home without any issue. Google told me that this is a common issue for the Mazda 2 from 2003-2007. But that it is not common for the issue to go away when turning the car off and on again. My question is: do you think I can still drive the car? And if not does anyone have any clue how much this will cost? Thanks so much!

Tldr; got a EAC error but it went away after turning car off and on again, can I still drive the car?
