Major breakthrough - Engine jerk
After 4 years of living with this problem on my 99 ES, it is finally fixed.
The problem: Engine jolts/jerks when A/C compressor is engaged at idle. The cause: Leaky intake manifold gasket Solution: Replaced Gasket. It took 4 years for Mazda to figure out this!!!!! Jerry Standefer, u listening? Get your car checked. |
What happened to lean idle and the 1.8L simply being a bad engine desgin then, huh? :p ;)

The engine was running weak at idle. But not due to lean mixture, but due to a leakage. Hey, I am no mechanic. But I was spot on. |
we had a lot of 1.8 FS that had intake gasket leaks usually the side of # 2 runner port had been sucked in the gasket problem is known to Mazda and we have had a improved design gasket for about 2 years now.

How much would it to replace it.
