Encountering problems on your vehicle is especially irritating, moreover the financial burden that these problems signify, one must also add the time lost with a non-functional Mazda Mx5 and the time spent to identify and fix the breakdown. However, some problems are less serious than others, which is not to say that they do not get worried us. Today we are going to look at a problem that can occur to all of us, having vibrations at acceleration on Mazda Mx5. This problem can often be tricky to perceive but it must be taken care of. We will so start our guideline with the roots of these vibrations on Mazda Mx5, then, with the answers you have to reduce or stop these tremors.

Why does my Mazda Mx5 release vibrations when accelerating?

So let’s start our guideline with the roots of this form of problem on your car. You should already know that an engine, specifically if it is old or if it has been driven quite a bit, can naturally vibrate without being a problem behind it. Large diesel engines, specifically those with a lot of torque, can trigger this kind of sensation, both at idle and when accelerating.

I feel vibrations on my Mazda Mx5 only when accelerating

Let’s take the most interesting case for us in this guideline. The simple fact that you feel trembling on your Mazda Mx5 during your acceleration phases, in this scenario you will have to verify the condition of some elements because a good number of elements can be at the source of these vibrations and even if you are unfortunate a combination of several of them may also be possible, here is the list of components that can be involved.

  • Turbo: If the turbo of your Mazda Mx5 is defective, it may trigger vibrations that you will feel when you accelerate at the moment it is activated.
  • The turbo pressure sensor: This sensor will control the pressure exerted in the turbo of your car, if it fails it may disrupt the performance of your turbo and bring about vibrations that you may feel within the acceleration of your Mazda Mx5.

    • .

  • If the turbo is punctured or harmed, the end result will be similar, the power supply of your turbo will be disrupted and its performance too. Remember to visually examine their state.

I’m having vibrations on my Mazda Mx5 at acceleration and deceleration

We will now concentrate on the situation where you feel vibrations on your Mazda Mx5 when you are accelerating but also when you are idling. If you only feel vibrations when you are idling on your Mazda Mx5, please have a look at our guideline dedicated to this problem to get rid of your problem. If, on the other hand, you identify that your Mazda Mx5 vibrates when accelerating but also when it is stopped, here is the list of elements to examine:

  • EGR valve: Indeed this valve which controls the return of exhaust gases for pollution standards can become dirty and disturb the evacuation of exhaust gases which can trigger Mazda Mx5 vibrates when accelerating but also when stopped.
  • Injectors: Your injectors that regulating the fuel/air mixture flow may be dirty or damaged, which will generate 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 effectively.
  • Fuel Filter: Like the injectors, if the filter is blocked it will not let the fuel pass effectively and therefore disturb the operation of your Mazda Mx5, up to the point of generating vibrations during acceleration.

Here are the main causes of a Mazda Mx5 that vibrates at acceleration

What can I do to stop the vibration when I accelerate on my Mazda Mx5? What can I do?

To conclude, in this last section, we will tell you the solutions available to you to overcome these tremors on your car when you accelerate. Here is the best attitude to adopt based on the part that is involved:

  • Turbo: If your turbo starts all these vibrations when you accelerate your Mazda Mx5, it will be good for you to control all the components connected to it because changing a complete turbo is a big budget and generally the problem does not come directly from the turbo. So make sure you take a look at your turbo pressure sensor, your flowmeter, the EGR valve and the hoses of your turbo. Otherwise take your Mazda Mx5 to your workshop.
  • EGR valve: The EGR valve has the benefit that it is often times easy to access and simple to take apart/clean. You can always look into it and clean it, for this see our guideline on cleaning the EGR valve of an Mazda Mx5.
  • Injectors: Injectors are very sensitive components and a few harmful particles may be enough to disturb their operation. 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, just change 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 uncover the origin of the vibrations at acceleration on your Mazda Mx5. If you don’t feel able to complete certain procedures don’t hesitate to go to your technician.
