Problem overview

Some Mazda B3000 owners report experiencing engine shaking on cold starts, which tends to improve after warm-up but remains unsatisfactory. This issue may be attributed to several factors, including contracting engine mounts in cold temperatures, poor fuel quality, failing sensors, thick cold oil, weak ignition, and cold transmission fluid affecting smooth shifting. Additionally, a higher idle speed in cold engines and faulty spark plug wires can contribute to the shaking. To address these concerns, owners are advised to check and potentially replace faulty engine mounts, ensure good fuel quality, verify the condition of spark plug wires, and resolve any issues with sensors, ignition systems, and transmission fluid. Taking these steps can help mitigate the shaking issue and improve overall engine performance in the Mazda B3000.
