I could not go any faster than 40mph. I pulled off of the road and the check engine light went off a couple of minutes later. I was able to drive home, not on the interstate. This happened two more times, both on the interstate (once while cruise control was on and once while accelerating up to 70mph). The last time this happened, there was a lot of black exhaust. Every time my engine light goes off after sitting idle for a couple of minutes. I don't even have to turn my car off. My dad tried running diagnostics, but there were no codes found. I just bought this car less than 6 months ago, and it only has 36,000 miles on it. Any ideas of what could be wrong?

Was this a fixed wreck by any chance? Otherwise why isn't this under drivetrain warranty still even if a second owner? T mapwyo New User Jan 12, 2015, 1:12 PM Post #3 of 4 (1027 views) Re: 2013 Mazda3 Hatchback Engine Light and Black Exhaust Sign In There were no codes. I had scheduled my car for an oil change today before this happened, and I asked them to check it out. They didn't find any codes either. It was a rental car without any accidents.

You are already causing substantial damage to it by driving it at all IMO any more. Too new and can't know what your warranty would be on a prior rental car. Check out your purchase papers and find out what is covered or not on this. If not communicating for codes could be something I don't know of that a rental car company did to track their fleet or who knows? At the age and miles with this history I really don't know what is best but would be calling with VIN # handy to seller or Mazda dealer at to what to do next. I can't know what your deal included with buying it but if you mess with it yourself and it has a warranty then you may void that out and think you are going to need it, T   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
