okay i know that my injectors are leaking so i have ordered the bleed off kit from mazdatrix and got it yesterday after i was driving down the highway and stopped for a light when the engine just died!!!!! :-(
i pulled off to the side of the road and tried several times to start the engine again----with no luck. ive never had it just die on me before with the exception of when it overheated on me. anyway i tried to unflood the motor by pulling the fuel pump fuse and turning it over- when that didnt work i pulled the plugs and found that the number one rotor housing had the dripping wet plugs. so i dried them all and tried to start again---still no luck. so now i wonder about the plugs. what should i look for in tring to tell if they have gone bad? also, when i went back to try agian today when i pulled the plugs and turned over the engine to clear the fuel out i saw a milky while liquid come from the motor----it smells like fuel . now could this be the atf and fuel mixing ? ( i used atf to relube the housings when i pulled the plugs to blow out the excess fuel yesterday) once again the engine tries to start but just cant. so please give me your best guesses :unsure: |
You overheated it?

yeah the factory plastic piece that the water filling cap ( rad. cap ) cracked and was leaking coolant while i was driving ---didnt know till it was hot
but have had the engine running since then and was running fine |

it smells just like fuel
even with the bleed off kit it still seems like the engine is flooding :-( maybe i have an injector that is stuck open---ill have to look further into that as far as coolant mixing with oil goes i know that oil is supposed to be injected into the rotor housings to lube the rotors but if i have coolant in the housings as well would that point to a blown gasket or seal? |

coolant and oil both look fine :unsure:
under what situations would my sub zero system (which isnt unhooked) inject coolant into the motor other than when it isnt supposed to? i have seen many remarks on the forum that mention that if left connected that it may cause problems |

ill try that first to see if maybe that is where the milky stuff is comming from
could be that it is spraying when it isnt supposed to damn i hope so ive only had the car for a month and have driven it only enough to wet my thirst for owning an rx again |
