Why does my B2200’s check engine light come on when I start it?

It’s usually normal for your check engine light to turn on upon ignition. It’s just your B2200 firing up its circuits. The dash light shouldn't stay on. If it does, you might want to bring your vehicle in for service.

Why is my Mazda B2200 making engine noise?

Strange under-the-hood noises can point to problems within your Mazda B2200 engine. Knocking or tapping could be a symptom of low oil. A high-pitched whistle could signal an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can be traced back to a loose fan belt, and grinding might be a sign of brake problems rather than engine issues.
