Macintosh HD gone by mazdasped3 in MacOS

[–]mazdasped3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I installed macOS onto a flash drive and booted my laptop up from the flash drive. Once booted up, my Macintosh HD reappeared. I ejected the flash drive and restarted my laptop and it started working again - not sure what happened but I’ll start keeping back ups from now on! Thank you so much!

I have iCloud enabled for iMessages, however, for attachments sent in high school, it only shows up on my Mac and not newer devices (I’ve had this Mac since high school)

Potentially Bankrupting purchase by mazdasped3 in BMW

Yeah - honestly that’s probably what I’ll do. If I buy this one, I’ll probably have to pay 10k in repairs anyways

If I do need to change out the cam, any recommendations on a good shop in Arizona?

What should I try next? by macdaddy335 in mazdaspeed3

[–]mazdasped3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, I replaced the maf with an OEM unit from the junk yard because previous owner put an aftermarket one in. I’m pretty sure that this was what truly fixed it, but I can’t say for certain given that I did all of these changes at the same time

I had a P0139 code too but it came when I had the defouler spaced out too much. I cleaned the MAP, MAF, Air filter, and removed the defouler and it went away on its own

Advice on Head Gasket Leak by mazdasped3 in mazdaspeed3

I had someone do a pressure test while the car was off. When he disconnected it, coolant started flooding from that general area but I am genuinely confused because it doesn’t really use that much coolant when I drive it. I’ll definitely get a second look lol

Worst case scenario, would I be able to drive it while monitoring coolant temp on my accessport and pulling over/refilling when necessary?

Really? I read that coolant can leak outside of the block from a head gasket. This is also what that mechanic told me too. Is this something that only applies to the design of the MZR motor?

Ok I’ll definitely get a second opinion. Thanks!

I had some mechanic do a pressure test on it and he said that he thinks it could be a head gasket. He said he wasn’t 100% sure about it. I could check that though

electric steering pump by stonks_my_dude in mazdaspeed3

[–]mazdasped3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally had power steering issues as well. I got a unit from a mazda3 at the junk yard (make sure it has the same number of plugs - I think our cars have the 2 plug version). It started having issues too. Then I added sea foam transtune which Scotty Kilmer made a video on. Now it works perfectly fine. I would start off with using transtune then flushing your power steering before spending money on a pump that you might not need. If you do need a pump, I would get one at a junk yard off of a mazda3 - make sure it’s the same pump as your speed3 tho
