Mazda Millenia EGR problem

• Millenia "tune up"

  Written by: hawaiianmike on Sep 16, 2009 1:18:41 AM

  Dude---do yourself a favor and do it once & do it right---replace all 6 spark plugs AND the wires---I realize that this can run some bucks but you will thank yourself (and maybe me too!!) when your Mazda runs at near 100% and you also get maybe 5 miles per gallon better mileage---I have done it twice (2 different cars) and the diff was incredible----runs better, more pull and better gas ...

  Written by: apiarx on Feb 9, 2008 3:47:09 AM

  Hello from the Tennessee mountains! I hope someone in the forums either can help me with this oddball problem, or can refer me to an expert on 1995 Millenia transmissions. While driving in the remote mountains, I came to a "T" intersection that was so steep that the front of my car bottomed out hard on the pavement of the intersecting road. Immediately the torque converter lockup engaged and has not ... Read More

  Written by: oastler on Feb 18, 2007 7:37:44 PM

  I am the original owner of a 1995 Millenia S, bought in Nov of 1995. It has been a good car with the exception of one time when it conked out on me by blowing out the radiator with 95k on it. For several years the supercharger has supposedly been leaking oil into the engine where it has been burned up, a little at first but now at 155K it is ... Read More

  1995 Mazda Millenia. Some times when you turn on the ignition key the "HOLD" light comes on and the car will not start. The "HOLD" light is the one that is activated at the automatic transmission shift lever that down shifts one gear when you drive. If I turn the ignition key on / off X times the "HOLD" light goes off and the car starts and runs fine. This happens ... Read More

  Steve, I have a '97 Millenia and I had a problem before with my Millennia. Try what I did, put the car in Neutral then start it should help. I am having a problem with it starting today. These things have a characteristic of bad EGR valves. My mechanic is coming over later to fix it and I am having symptoms like the no turn over, dash battery drainage

  Hi my '95 Mazda Millenia will not start now. It cranks like it's out of fuel, but I checked the fuel gauges and everything looks normal. Could it be a relay of some sort? I had a similar problem with my '99 Honda Accord and I switched out the relay in it and now it starts fine. Someone told me that it could be a fuel pump relay, is there such ... Read More

  Written by: joshi on Oct 6, 2005 11:58:11 AM

  I am thinking of buying a 1995 Mazda Millenia (engine made in Japan btw). It has all the features and drives like a dream even after its 134K miles. But, I am not too sure about how long MMs last. Can I expect it to last me 2-3 years with proper maintenance or is it past its expected life.

  Hi, I only had troubles with my Millenia. Of course things broke down before a well--made automobile should. I maintained it as diligently as possible. I have a stack full of repair bills for all the car's major component systems. Unless Mazda has improved their quality, don't buy their product. David

  Precisely, Mazda Millenai was a great car in ... 1995 when it came out. It did have a cute design, nice interior and funky (in a positive way) engine in the S model. But that was in freaking 1995 - 7 years ago. True the basic design of a gasoline engine has not been radically changed for a while but the car does show its age and is lacking certain toys ...

  For those potential buyers who are still thinking of getting MM here is something interesting - G35. Unlike Mazda, Nissan was able to introduce Infinity and its newest creation: G35. What is not to like here????? Please those who still have not decided, look this one over, it beats Millenia both base and S in any category. Yes it is a little bit more expensive but from what the folks on ... Read More

  I don't personally object to comparing my Millenia to any other car on earth. I know from personal experience the Millenia is an excellent car in every way, and outclasses 90% of the cars being built today, whether they were designed in 1903 or 2002. It only shows how far ahead the Millenia was in 1995 that it is still a totally modern car today. The Millenia's only downfall is that ... Read More

The future is bleak, so if you are thinking about buying MM think again. There are so many new models coming out that if you do spend $$$$$$, you will regret it very shortly.

  I have owned my 95 Millenia S for quite some time now. It is in wonderful condition and drives very smoothly. A few days ago, I hit 100k miles.

Before leaving, I put 800 local miles on my new 2001 Millenia P to get it broken in before subjecting it to that much highway running.

  Written by: herndons on Jul 23, 2001 8:06:38 PM

  I own a 1995 Millenia 2.5L and have a transmission that is a little klunky. I am aware that most Millenias are like this and even confirmed it with a Mazda Service Manager. Says nothing to really worry about, it is inherent to Millenias. Is there anybody out there who can recommend an additive to smooth out the tranny at all? Trans-X. Slick 50? Any safe and tried ideas? Thanks!

  Ok... I've been keeping my mouth shut, but now the rumors are really getting out-of-hand. The Millenia will be phased out completely by the 2003 model year. The reasons for this are three: 1) Mazda's new flagship will be the 2003 RX-8. The RX-8 will be a "four door sports car" powered by Mazda's legendary rotary engine with an output of 250hp naturally aspirated and the possibility of a super-performance turbo ... Read More
