The DBS system may not engage correctly, leading to reduced braking assistance during emergency stops.
Engine misfire
Misfires can occur due to faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors, resulting in poor engine performance and reduced fuel efficiency.
Oil leaks
Oil leaks can originate from the valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket, or other seals, leading to potential engine damage if not addressed promptly.
Coolant system issues
Problems with the radiator, water pump, or thermostat can cause the engine to overheat, potentially leading to severe engine damage.
Timing chain or belt problems
A worn or damaged timing chain/belt can cause the engine to run poorly or fail to start, and if it breaks, it can result in significant engine damage.
Turbocharger issues (if applicable)
If the Mazda3 model includes a turbocharger, problems can arise from a failing turbo, including reduced power and efficiency, and possible engine damage.
Fuel system problems
Clogged fuel filters, failing fuel pumps, or dirty injectors can lead to poor engine performance and starting issues.
Sensor failures
Faulty oxygen sensors, mass airflow sensors, or other engine management sensors can lead to incorrect air-fuel mixture, reducing performance and increasing emissions.
Electronic control issues
Problems with the engine control unit (ECU) or other electronic components can lead to a variety of engine performance issues and diagnostic trouble codes.
Exhaust system problems
Issues with the catalytic converter, muffler, or other exhaust components can lead to increased emissions, poor engine performance, and noise.
Intake manifold issues
Cracks or leaks in the intake manifold can cause air leaks, leading to poor engine performance and increased fuel consumption.
