Hi I just got my spark plugs changed on mazda 3 2006 1.6 engine. But i am not feeling good acceleration like before and shaky gear shift? What could be the cause for this? I am really worried. I diagnosed and found out code p0123 throttle sensor issue. But the car was running smooth before the change. Could you give any advice?
Hey I have a Mazda 3 2006, same engine as this. My engine light was showing and I was experiencing small misfires so I took it to a mechanic to diagnose the light. He told me his machine was reading a faulty coil. I changed the one coil and all spark plugs but my engine light is still showing. Any tips on why this is? Thanks
Thank you for the reply, I just solved the problem, I didnt see that there is one more bolt in the centre of the valve cover,..now I already replace the valve cover gasket, now I have one problem there is a white smoke coming from the engine after I replaced the gasket., im not sure if that is because of oil residue from the dead spark plug or it needs to be tuned up.
Finally a video on the z6 engine.. great video too chief
interesting how a 2011 second gen mazda 3 1.6 petrol has the same engine cover. finally found a video for what i need. thanks!
Made it really easy, Thanks Boet! First time replacing the spark plugs and got it right first time
I just service my daughters 2004. Would have been easier if I'd watched your video beforehand lol. Great vid thanks
Excellent and to the point. Thank you
Thank you, you are very helpful. Gonna order the products today to replace it by myself.
Thanks mate! Exactly the vid I needed. Much appreciated 👍
Brilliant tutorial... thanks.
thanks for this! will be helpful
Great tutorial. Thanks.
Great video thank you. Which spark plug code required for 2009 Mazda Axela 1500cc please
Good video
Thanks
can you link the sparkplugs that you used in this video please? I have a hard time finding them!
Exactly what I am looking for this morning. Do you normally disconnect the battery when doing a job like this?
i dont, but its best practice to do that.
That was my question too
Nah...

Hello,
Does anyone knows the location not the knock sensor of this engine?
the cover for the two plugs next to each other on my 2007 is held with rivets, I can't remove them!
Same here. How did you get round the problem?
Same problem ...did you solve?
Same, looks like no one has replied with the best way to remove though :(
👍
May I ask if I need to remove the spark plug to remove the valve cover? I would like to replace the valve cover gasket.
i have a video showing the installation, its in my Mercedes playlist.
