Have the car scanned. Many parts stores (autozone, advance, others) offer free scan service.

    Is there no way to manually pull codes on a 91 mazda without a code reader?

    Yes, you can use the MIL light to flash the codes.

    look here: http://www.troublecodes.net/mazda/91MZDp...

    During the self-test a service code is reported by the malfunction indicator light. It will represent itself as a flash on the CHECK ENGINE or SERVICE ENGINE SOON light on the dash panel. A single digit number of 3 will be reported by 3 flashes. However, if a service code is represented by a 3-digit number such as 111, the code will appear on the MIL light as three flashes, then after a two second pause, the light will flash three times.

    Start the engine and allow it to reach normal operating temperatures.

    Turn the engine off.

    Warm up engine to normal operating temperature and turn ignition "OFF."
    Ground test connector (Green: 1-pin) with a jumper wire.
    NOTE: Test connector is located next to self-diagnostic connector.


    Turn ignition switch "ON."
    If MIL illuminates, goes off, and stays off, no codes are present.
    If MIL illuminates, goes off, and then starts flashing, codes are present.
    Start engine and check for additional codes.
    If any codes are retrieved, refer to Malfunction Code Charts under DIAGNOSTIC CHARTS. Repair as required.
    AFTER-REPAIR PROCEDURE


    Erase ECU malfunction code memory by disconnecting the negative battery cable and depressing the brake pedal for at least five seconds. Reconnect battery cable.
    (connector is by the right side wheel well in the engine compartment) and then turn the ignition switch to the ON position. Service codes will be flashed on the MIL light.

Hey my problem 710 ingine code on 2000 mazda mpv

Google the code & read up (OBD PO710) if that is it
I hope you know when you get codes,
that they do not mean you need to replace
a part
Codes only point to the system with the out of
range fault
You need diagnostic manuals to diagnose &
component test,no parts get replaced until they fail
a test.

96 mazda mpv minivan 165k mi. Ran fine until one day just died.Had towed home.3 mech.tried diagnose gave up wouldn't start-turns over-no start. Last mech.replaced timing belt&idle pulley. Still no...

I was browsing unsolved problems. If you still have the problem, I'll try to help you. But it's going to be awhile trying to communicate back and forth. First...Check the engine for spark. Take off a plug wire and stick a screw driver in the wire end and place the metal part of the screw driver next to something on the van that's metal. Have someone crank it over for just a second or two and see if a small spark jumps from the screw driver to the metal part. I'll check back for your answer.

Where is the power steering resorvoir on a mazda mpv 1999

If this is the same as my 91 (No MPVs Show for 99) the power steering is located on the passenger side behind the alternator and its a pain to get to if you dont know where it is. Make sure you have it outside in the sun and you will see the filler dipstick. That is where the resovoir is located. Its actually right at the power steering pump location if its like my 91.

If its like the 2000 (or so) its an actual seperate resovoir on the passenger side fenderwell. Its in an obvious place so it you cant find it Im guessing your engine is inline and rear wheel drive like my older MPV and youll find it behind that alternator.

Hope this helps and lf it does dont forget to rate the solution.
