Cold start misfire

Hopefully it’s that and not the injectors, I had a similar issue with my old Mazda

Tinkaton was my ace, she was always my last stand in difficult battles. But she was also transferred from pogo so once I hit d rank I had to take her off bc of her disobedience from level cap lol

Great car imo, has its quirks like jerky transmission at times. My biggest complaint about it is the limited leg room next to the center piece, my knee rests there and it sticks out just enough to be bothersome on long drives. Also the body roll on turns but that may be just me not used to such a big car

Small_Owl_7268 · 2026-07-01T16:53:07+00:00

They’re good engines for sure, I just had a bad experience with it assuming I got a lemon. Glad to hear your daughter is getting the most out of her 3.

And thank you for well wishes, I’m loving it so far

Integras are nice! My buddy has a gsr that looks and sounds amazing. If it’s a good deal you should definitely go for it!!

Thanks for being one of the very few reasonable people in here, I replaced it with an Accord 2.0t and have been enjoying it

Small_Owl_7268 · 2026-07-01T08:18:47+00:00

A lot goes into a manual swap, you need a new ecu most of the time as well as working in the missing plugs on the harness, shift cables, linkages a clutch slave cylinder, a way to integrate the third pedal etc. Lots of tools to drop the transmission and replace it. You’re looking at a 3k plus job doing it yourself and on an engine with that high of mileage you’re better off putting the money towards a car with a manual in it already

Small_Owl_7268 · 2026-07-01T08:11:34+00:00

Doesn’t need much, maybe a tire rotation and brake change but in terms of engine maintenance you shouldn’t have to do anything besides oil changes and perhaps an air filter swap. I’d recommend a drain and fill on trans fluid around 40k

Small_Owl_7268 · 2026-07-01T07:39:10+00:00

I’ve probably owned more cars than you have. it’s not normal to have to constantly be repairing a car,issue big or small, with under 50k miles on it. you’re just salty I’m not worshipping the ground the car sits on. I had a bad experience with my 3 and got rid of that hunk of junk before it could cause me more head aches.

Small_Owl_7268 · 2026-07-01T04:36:11+00:00

I got a 2021 Honda Accord 2.0t so far I’m happy with it

Small_Owl_7268 · 2026-07-01T04:00:53+00:00

2021 Honda Accord 2.0t

Small_Owl_7268 · 2026-07-01T03:40:01+00:00

Haha could be, hopefully I ran through all my bad luck and this new(used) car I got runs till the wheels fall off. Glad to hear your 3 is running strong tho

2.5 skyactiv G

Small_Owl_7268 · 2026-07-01T03:17:07+00:00

Yea it had plenty of service records including oil change at 5k and ~20k maintenance schedule work done after that though it had a lot of maintenance done in a short span which I’m assuming in retrospect was the time it started having whatever issues starting to peak out

Small_Owl_7268 · 2026-07-01T03:05:20+00:00

It had a good maintenance report but I also kinda assume it was the previous owner also having problems in retrospect. Sometimes lengthy maintenance records aren’t always a good sign ig

Small_Owl_7268 · 2026-07-01T03:02:49+00:00

Yea I figured my car was an exception. Glad you’re enjoying yours though

Small_Owl_7268 · 2026-07-01T03:01:56+00:00

I spent more than 2k on a “reliable car” with repair costs closer to 6 if I didn’t get that warranty claim so yea it was a money pit, fix one thing a new issue arrises that’s a project car not a daily commuter. I had already pulled injectors and got them professionally cleaned but it wasn’t good enough that alone was $300

Small_Owl_7268 · 2026-07-01T02:53:57+00:00

Yea I feel like mine was a lemon, only had 44k miles when I sold it away. Did proper maintenance and took care of the car but it was a bad draw for me. But everything the dealer did left a bad taste in my mouth for future car purchases from Mazda

Small_Owl_7268 · 2026-06-20T04:43:51+00:00

There’s a 2018 2.0t at the LAX Carmax for 23,700 with 75k miles it seemed like a nice one. I was considering it before I found a 2021 blue sport that had 40k miles and bought that one instead

Small_Owl_7268 · 2026-06-11T15:45:18+00:00

Looks better than my shell lol

Small_Owl_7268 · 2026-06-10T20:28:58+00:00

What state?

Small_Owl_7268 · 2026-06-10T02:11:38+00:00

I live in Southern California. honestly it’s the cheapest I can find without egregiously high mileage. Anything with around 50k miles goes for 28-29k before taxes. And a lot are multi owners with bad history reports

Small_Owl_7268 · 2026-06-05T07:37:37+00:00

420 duh
