I'm having a strange clicking noise coming from the ignition coil (where the spark plug wires connect). I'm not positive that is what is making the noise, but it is coming from that general area. It only makes the sound when the car is in drive and stopped (brake applied) (or when it is in park, the noise is not audible)
Also, when the car is in drive and stopped (brake applied), the idle flucuates sometimes from what appears to be a crazy low 300-400 rpms. I'm not sure what the stock idle is supposed to be.
The car is a 2000 with the 1.8L.
Sorry for the noob questions guys, I'm a Nissan guy trying to make sense of this Mazda. Let me know if you have any imput on whether this car is worth purchasing (i.e. if there are any common problems that you guys run into). I am testing it out for a day from the dealer. Thanks!
One more thing, do these cars have distributors?
