What's the matter if the car's starter motor doesn't respond?

It is caused by the wear of the starter motor's carbon brushes. Here are the specific details: 1. Using tools: Find a long-handled screwdriver or tire wrench from the car's tool kit and tap the starter motor or nearby parts a few times. Be careful not to hit the motor's live wire terminal to avoid a short circuit. The spring allows the starter motor's carbon brushes to press against the rotor electrode under external vibration. After tapping a few times, try restarting the motor; most attempts will succeed. 3. Push-starting the car: The driver should turn the ignition switch to the ON position (all functional indicators on the dashboard will light up), press and hold the clutch pedal, and select the appropriate gear based on the number of people pushing. Generally, the highest gear should be third, but second or first gear can be used if there are more people. Reverse gear can also be used, ensuring the car doesn't stall when the clutch pedal is released. Release the handbrake and push the car to move. Once the car is fully coasting, release the clutch (keep the foot on the pedal). At the moment the engine starts successfully, press the clutch again while pulling the handbrake, shift to neutral, and press the accelerator.

What is the best mileage interval for changing spark plugs on the Mazda3 Axela?

Mazda3 Axela spark plug replacement interval: Under normal maintenance conditions, replacement is recommended at 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. However, this may vary depending on the brand and engine type, so it's advisable to follow the owner's manual. You can refer to the following maintenance standards for replacement: Platinum spark plugs should be replaced at 40,000 km, standard nickel alloy spark plugs at 20,000 km, and iridium spark plugs at 60,000-80,000 km. How spark plugs work: The spark plug's ground electrode connects to the metal shell, which is threaded into the engine block via the cylinder head. The insulator primarily serves to isolate the metal shell from the center electrode. The terminal nut is the part that contacts the ignition coil. When current passes through the terminal nut and center electrode, it ionizes the medium between the center electrode and ground electrode to create a spark, which ignites the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder.
