Yea i’ve got a little idle problem but mine is chugging some on
acceleration too. I was originally thinking vaccum or plug/wire tune up
cause it feels like plug is fouled but i may try this too. Nice vid.
I made a separate video for cleaning the throttle body. When I remove the
throttle body you will see the ERG passages behind the throttlebody, which
you might see as being plugged a bit on the video. The EGR valve helps your
car more efficiently and completely burn fuel by recirculating a portion of
your exhaust and running it through the combustion process again. Google :

Thanks for your comment.
Glad to have helped! Usually this is all that needs to be done. If the
problem returns in a year or so, then just drop in a new one for about $80.
Would this have anything to do with flow passage issue on the EGR VALVE
with the P0401 code?
I saw this and was able to replace my valve in about 15 minutes. My
symptoms were that the car would not idle when cold, like below 50F. On
cold days, I would have to keep my foot on the accelerator or it would die.
I went ahead and replaced the valve with a new one. Thanks for the video.
Yes it fixed the hooting sound that I had. Most of the time the problem is
related to a rough idle. It is a common problem as cars get older. Keep in
mind the IAC is a non serviceable part, and sometimes the cleaning fixes
the problem temporarily. A new IAC is about $80.
So what was the result. Did cleaning solve your problem or did you have to
move on to another problem. And up date is appreciated.
There is a rubber elbow below the throttlebody that is known to crack on
the MPV causing a vac leak. There is a website called mpvclub that has
info. But if your acceleration is effected then changing both plugs and
wires together might be required. You should be getting misfire codes once
in a while. I did a slideshow on the sparkplug removal on picassa. Google
sprark plug change mazda mpv . The forum mpvclub has info.
I only stumbled upon this out of curiosity from the mpv forum, but just
wanted to say your a champ for making such a video, I’m sure it can help
many & if I ever have those symptoms in my car it may help as you’ve taught
a car novice something π
You are such a great guy taking the time to do this! You just saved me and
my father $300!!! Thank you!!!!
So… did it work or not? How about an update?
