What owners wrote
2004 mazda mpv with only 400 miles on it is starting to develop a sulfur smell coming from tail pipe area. This has been a issue in the past with the mpv. Is there a fix. I have not contacted dealer as of yet.
2004 mazda mpv engine completely and suddenly dies when driving - usually when pressing the accelerator pedal as the engine is decelerating. Drove car to shoulder, placed in neutral to restart. Appears to be the idle control valve (madza forum sites report numerous similar events).
