my crankshaft is failing in my 2000 Mazda 323 astina(Though the car still runs, but with limited power in the acceleration)........how long do I have until the engine totally fails?

The manual 323 sits on 3000rpm at 100km/h. Does this apply to the auto as well and if not what is the figure.

Are the rear struts in a 2002 Mazda astina sp20 the same as for a 323 astina?

Hello Is it safe to buy a 2000$ Mazda 323 year 2000 With 380000 km for 1800$ ? Thank you for your answer

Hi Tony, it all depends on it’s service history and also how it has been maintained. As it’s 23 years old and has traveled quite a few kms, the likely hood of parts failing/wearing out is fairly high, more so the valve stem seals. However, parts are quite plentiful and easily accessible. These cars are also quite simple to work on. I currently own a 2000 model 323 Astina, it has traveled 198,000 kms. The only things to fail have been the passenger side rear brake calliper and the starter motor. A full timing belt kit and water pump were fitted in 2021, as were spark plugs, coils, high tension leads and fuel filter. Mechanically it is in great condition for it’s age, although the rear shocks are getting quite soft and are due for replacement.

Thank you so much my dear brother

I have a Mazda 323 2001 astina. Will a 1997 laser transmission be compatible?

Hi . We have changed the ecu ,key fob and module in a 1999 1.6L ford Laser same as a 323 pretty much. Car turns over but no spark or injector pulse. Do these need a reset or link up to module to work. Some help would be appreciated. Cheers

Peter R3y

Got a 02 model 323 Mazda astina will turn but won’t fire heaps off power in battery

Mark 3y

I would suggest either crank angle sensor, cam sensor or coil packs require replacement.

Peter R 3y

Rogy cheers for tht

andrew t.3y

I realise it’s an 03 but I need to replace a BJ drivers seatbelt stalk. Any ideas on what other makes and models would be compatible?

Will a mazda 323 fuel pump fit a ford telstar 1991

Mark 3y

Highly doubtful, a similar year Ford Laser one will fit though.

Hi my 2001 323 familia is cranking but not starting after replacing cranking sensor and spark plugs

Mark 3y

Possibly coil packs as they are known to fail, more so on SP20 versions.

Anthony5y

i own a mazda familia hatchback, engine is losing power and stalls, what vare the common causes of these and solutions?

Mark 5y

It could be one of many things. Clogged catalytic converter, fuel filter or fuel injectors and/or dirty air filter. Dirty spark plugs and/or failing coil packs. Dirty MAF sensor, O2 sensor, Cam or Crankshaft sensor. Take it to a mechanic for a diagnostic test.
