1994 Mazda B2300 ec review from North America
"For the high mileage the truck has been very reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The throwout bearing in the clutch "threw out" taking the clutch with it for a tune of $800.00.
The a/c needed a charge and the mechanic told me the thermostat must be bad because the temperature gauge would barely come up past cold. I replaced the thermostat with no change in the gauge reading. However, since that time my gas mileage went from 28 mpg to 20 mpg.
The brake light will not come on unless the pedal is pushed to the limit of the stroke and there doesn't appear to be any adjustment for this problem.
General comments?
I am actually looking for advice if anyone else has a Mazda pickup and knows who I can contact or how I can fix these problems (gas mileage, brake light adjustment)
