Well like I said, i had to leave a msg for mr. rooplal however i don't think he's gonna call me back. My options are laughlin and masterserv. laughlin is $230 and masterserv is $385! Now i never mind payin' more money for something once i know it's worth more, but who do you think would be better to go with?

who's Steve though?

From what i understand the 3L v6 DOHC (Duratec V6-30) only went to the states and "maybe" some parts of europe, chances of it going japan from what i realize with mazda is highly remote. As for some strange reason the japanese don't believe that much in the V6 (but i may be wrong), plus they have a thing with fuel comsumption even thought its an efficient engine.

USA got:
160 hp 2.3-liter DOHC inline-4
274 hp† 2.3 liter, turbocharged, 4-cylinder engine
215 hp 3.0-liter DOHC, V6

Canada got:
215 hp 3.0-liter DOHC, V6
160 hp 2.3-liter DOHC inline-4

Australia :
160 hp 2.3-liter DOHC inline-4

Europe :
2.0-liter SOHC inline-4 Diesel
1.8-liter DOHC inline-4
2.0-liter DOHC inline-4
somewhere there is a diesel turbo

Japan:
160 hp 2.3-liter DOHC inline-4
274 hp† 2.3 liter, turbocharged, 4-cylinder engine

but who knows it may be released later on.

Computerman, i got my car checked before i read the post. i went to laughlin and 4 error codes came up. 2 were for the o2 sensor and 2 were for the maf sensor. the guy there told me that he clearded the codes and when i started the car he checked it again and the codes didn't come up.

he said that the codes needed to be cleared that's why i was gettin' problems with the car.

Asfiveforward, i believe said, it was goin' into safe mode to prevent further damage to the engine.

i forgot to ask him why it did that though, with the codes an all.

anyways he said that if i'm drivin' and the problem happens again to just bring it back and he'll clear it again, no charge.

but he said that if he clears it and i start the car and he checks it again and the codes come back up after startin' the car and checkin' it, then i'd need to change those 2 sensors.

thanks for all your help guys!

what are your views on the Maazda 6 with the 2.3L 160HP. Think its a good car for its cost? does d engine have potential?
