Is it hard to start a Mazda Tribute?
The car has alway run very smooth averaging 21mi./gal in mix driving (70% highway, 30% city). Although, I’ve always thought this Tribute was harder to start than average. I have to turn and hold the key for 2 or 3 seconds to start it. My other cars take 1 second. Thank you in advance for your opinions.
What was the problem with the Mazda Tribute coil?
They changed out the 6 coils, test drove and hooked it back up to their system. The misfires were gone. When we get the Tribute back, it starts immediately (1 second) instead of 2 or 3 seconds as always before. And it feel a little stronger and smoother than before. I think the old PCM has always had a small defect from the start from the factory.
Why does my Mazda Tribute have a misfire error?
The misfire errors are common with older vehicles (the plugs should last for at least 75,000 miles) and usually point to plug/wire replacement of the cylinder that is indicated in the error message. For all 6 to be failing is really pointing to an ignition component that is common to all 6 cylinders.
Can a bad catalytic converter lead to engine failure?
A bad or clogged catalytic converter can ultimately lead to engine failure, so it’s important to address the issue promptly. However, having catalytic converter problems doesn’t necessarily mean that the converter has to be replaced.

What causes a Mazda Tribute to run rough at idle?
Customer may also complain of rough idle, surging under light throttle, ignition misfire etc. Problem: The EGR valve leaks causing exhaust gases to enter the combustion chamber at all times, therefore creating a lean air/fuel mixture. This symptom is most noticeable at idle.
