And then again the A/C compressor could be stalled/locked and it is the compressor drive belt generating all the smoke.
That's a possibility. Im not a tech, but, either way, these CX-7's have had issues. No other Mazda in the last 20 years, outside the RX-8, have been plagued by such issues.
Yesterday I waited 45 minutes in line to get my emissions test and was rejected due to excessive smoke. The smoke is grayish and has a smell. This problem started about a year ago - I've taken it to Mazda twice for this reason. The first time synthetic oil was recommended which helped for awhile. Just recently they told me there doesn't seem to be a problem - all cars smoke from time to time. So what do I do now if I need this problem resolved to pass my emissions test? My car is a 2007 CX 7 with 62,000 miles. It drives fine with the exception of it hesitates from time to time when I turn on the ignition. I plan to call Mazda first thing tomorrow- I have a 9 hr car trip planned this weekend, so am a little concerned about getting this problem taken care of. Any advice is appreciated!
