Mazda CX30 Showing Signs of Engine Troubles and Black Smoke Emission: Possible Fuel Injection Pressure Issue?

Hey, sounds an awful lot like a similar problem I had on my 2017 Mazda6 not so long ago. Engine instability, rough acceleration, stalling - the whole shebang. Even the same engine light disco and the way my exhaust smelled was enough to tag a skunk as 'fresh.' Like your gut, mine pointed towards fuel pressure too. But when I finally gathered enough courage to head to the garage, they found out it was an issue with the car computer not reading the fuel pressure properly following a fuel filter change. Apparently, once the fuel filter was changed, the system needed a manual reset. There was no massive mechanical failure as I expected. The guys sorted it out by resetting the system through the car's computer, adjusting the fuel pressure, and tidying up the fuel pressure readings. Yup, no heavyweight issues. Runs like a dream now, smooth as a baby surfboarding on cream. Trust ya gut, but also trust the mechanic. Errors following a filter change are rarer than a bad bratwurst, but not impossible. Have a chat with a decent garage before it does become a more serious issue - sooner the better. Cheers!

Hey there, your situation seems strikingly familiar to what's going on with my CX30. An issue with the computer system not reading the fuel pressure appropriately, huh? That's interesting. You know, I was almost convinced it had to be something serious within the mechanical realm of things. I'm relieved it wasn't the case for you. Out of curiosity, do you happen to remember how much the garage charged you for the fix? And additionally, have you had any run-ins with this issue again or has anything else cropped up since your system reset? Appreciate your input!

Hey, it's interesting how such major-looking symptoms can stem from a relatively minor issue, right? As for your queries, I shelled out around 45.00 € to get that error entry set right after the fuel filter change. Not a bank-breaker, I'd say! And about recurring issues, well, since I got it fixed by the mechanic, the fuel injection pressure's been holding steady. Absolutely no deviations from the norm. And my ride's been running smooth ever since, no other issues cropping up either. Just goes to show, trusting your mechanic can be a pretty good call!

No kidding! I must say, it's a huge relief to see someone else dealing with such similar symptoms come out the other side with their wallet relatively intact and car fully functional. 45 Euro sounds perfectly reasonable, not the money-draining horror show I was envisioning. It's quite reassuring to hear your Mazda's been behaving like a regular road prince since those adjustments. Makes me a whole lot less worried to take my own car in now. Many thanks for the great advice, it's given me some much-needed perspective. Sounds like it's time for a visit to my local garage and get this engine mystery sorted out. Cheers! Here's hoping my story turns out as smooth as yours.
