also i looking for someone to check out my car and find/fix all the problems with it. any suggestions?

hey, ive been getting a problem with my BJ lately. when driving at around 100-120 km/h the car stutters/bucks a bit. any ideas why? could it be an airflow problem?

Just a quick question tuners:

Has anyone ever turbo charged their 323 BJ?

If so, where did you do it, and how much did it cost?

@ Groovemaster, Its '99, no mods, ZM engine (although the airflow sensors had ZL written on it)..yeh ill go get it scanned in the morning and see what going on..i got the knock sensor changed a week or so now..erm..not sure of the tranny oil type, but it was serviced about a month ago (eng oil, plug...

Tuners, Heres my story: I was driving down the highway at around 6ish and it was getting dark, so i turned on my headlights. Immediately after turning it on the car had cut off *DEAD*, but still rolling and still in DRIVE. My reaction was to turn back of the headlights, and i did, following which th...

Yeah I have noticed a slight of slipping in the shifts. I was doing some research and did find some stuff about it on page 24 of this pdf: http://www.floptical.net/mazda/service_web/05-02.PDF (but for this car, the code is P073x where x = 1|2|3|4 depending on which solenoid) So, tmrw its back by the...

Yeah i'll change the knock sensor. In the test drive, its pulling off on 1st and driving on 2nd. It takes tremendously long to get to third (if at all) and never gets to 4th. If he's correct, he mentioned that the solenoids cost somewhere around $1,600 :shock: . Thats pretty expensive, don't you thi...

Well the two codes that came up are P0730 Gear Ratio Control Malfunction and P0327 Knock Sensor Malfuntion.

The symptoms i'm getting are slow acceleration (the engine revs, but the car doesn't move, although it is in drive), longer time for gears to change and sometimes the third gear doesn't go in.

Tuners,

What does P0730 Gear Ratio Control Malfunction mean?

A mechanic told me that it means i need to change the solenoid in my transmission.

Is this true? If not what do I need to do?

The vehicle is a Mazda 232 BJ Model.

anyone?
