Why does my Mazda 5 emit vibrations when accelerating?

So let’s start our content with the origins of this type of issue on your car. You should already know that an engine, especially if it is ancient or if it has been driven a lot, can naturally vibrate without being a issue behind it. Large diesel engines, especially those with a lot of torque, can generate this sort of sensation, both at idle and when accelerating.

I feel vibrations on my Mazda 5 only when accelerating

Let’s take the most interesting circumstance for us in this content. The fact that you come to feel trembling on your Mazda 5 during your acceleration periods, in this situation you will have to check the state of some parts because a good number of elements can be at the origin of these vibrations and whether or not you are unlucky a mix of several of them may also be possible, here is the list of components that can be concerned.

  • Turbo: If the turbo of your Mazda 5 is defective, it may generate vibrations that you will come to feel when you accelerate at the moment it is running.
  • The turbo pressure sensor: This sensor will control the pressure exerted in the turbo of your car, if it fails it may bother the performance of your turbo and bring about vibrations that you may experience at the time of acceleration of your Mazda 5.
  • .

  • If the turbo is punctured or injured, the effect will be similar, the power supply of your turbo will be troubled and its performance too. Be sure to visually check their condition.

I’m experiencing vibrations on my Mazda 5 at acceleration and deceleration

We will now look into the situation where you experience vibrations on your Mazda 5 when you are accelerating but also when you are idling. If you only experience vibrations when you are idling on your Mazda 5, please consult our content dedicated to this issue to resolve your problem. If, alternatively, you realize that your Mazda 5 vibrates when accelerating but also when it is stopped, here is the list of components to check:

  • EGR valve: In truth this valve which handles the return of exhaust gases for pollution standards can become dirty and affect the evacuation of exhaust gases which can generate Mazda 5 vibrates when accelerating but also when stopped.
  • Injectors: Your injectors that regulating the fuel/air mixture flow may be dirty or damaged, which will bring out the wrong amount of mixture and thus prevent your engine block from working effectively, it is even possible that one or more of your cylinders are not running correctly.
  • Fuel Filter: Like the injectors, if the filter is blocked it will not let the fuel pass correctly and therefore affect the performance of your Mazda 5, up to the point of generating vibrations during acceleration.

Here are the main triggers of a Mazda 5 that vibrates at acceleration

What can I do to stop the vibration when I accelerate on my Mazda 5? What can I do?

To conclude, in this last part, we will provide you the possibilities available to you to handle these tremors on your car when you accelerate. Here is the best attitude to adopt dependent on the part that is affected:

  • Turbo: If your turbo starts all these vibrations when you accelerate your Mazda 5, it will be good for you to control all the components linked to it because changing a complete turbo is a big budget and most of the time the issue does not come exclusively from the turbo. So be sure to take a look at your turbo pressure sensor, your flowmeter, the EGR valve and the hoses of your turbo. Otherwise take your Mazda 5 to your garage.
  • EGR valve: The EGR valve has the advantage that it is often times easy to access and easy to take apart/clean. You can always take a look at it and clean it, for this see our content on cleaning the EGR valve of an Mazda 5.
  • Injectors: Injectors are very sensitive components and a few impurities may be enough to affect their performance. Use a fuel additive to simply clean the injectors, if this is not enough you will have to go to a specialist.
  • Fuel Filter: If it is the fuel filter, simply replace it. A fuel filter doesn’t clean itself, so if it is clogged you will just have to replace it with a new one.

Now you have all the information you need to discover the origin of the vibrations at acceleration on your Mazda 5. If you don’t feel able to perform certain procedures don’t hesitate to go to your motor mechanic.
