1997 MAZDA MPV
ALMOST 2K MILES WHEN SOLD TO ME 3
MONTHS AGO. 1ST THE GAS HAND IS OFF.
READS MORE THAN WHAT'S ACTUALLY IN
THE TANK;I HAVE TO HOLD THE GAS PUMP
ENTIRE TIME WHILE PUMPING;LEVELER &
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT USED TO JUST
COME ON UPON STARTING THEN GO OFF;
STARTED LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID. I
FILLED IT A FEW TIMES ALREADY; HAVE
PUT IN OIL IT WAS VERY LOW. WHEN LOW
ON GAS IT BARLEY TURNS OR
EXCELLERATES;IT MAKES A POPPING
SOUND LIKE THERE'S AIR FLOWING
THROUGH THE GAS LINE OR SOMETHING.
(I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT CARS JUST
GUESSING). YESTERDAY EARLY MORNING
MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON&
WOULDN'T GO OFF. I PUT SOME GAS
IN,CHECKED OIL& WATER THEY WERE FINE.
DIDN'T CHECK TRANSMISSION FLUID
COULDN'T FIND THE DIP STICK; I RAN A
FEW ERRANDS AROUND TOWN. LATER
THAT AFTERNOON I TRIED DRIVING
ACROSS TOWN. IT STARTED SPUTTERING
AND WOULDN'T EXCELLERATE PAST 20
MPH.SO I PUT FLASHERS ON& SLOWLY
DROVE TO A SAFE LOCATION. ANY HELP AT
ALL WOULD BE GREATLY DEEPLY
APPRECIATED.
