Other causes of hard starting are a faulty engine coolant temperature switch (sensor), worn spark plugs, inadequate fuel delivery or pressure (e.g., clogged fuel filter), dirty fuel injectors, contaminated or old gasoline, poor engine compression, and so forth.

While the redesign may not be a complete shock, the 2.2 - liter diesel and other SKYACTIV technologies fitted on the 2013 Mazda6 — lowered engine compression, i - Stop, high - tech transmission, and more rigid, yet lighter, body — should help keep future owners away from the gas pumps a little more often.

The increase is due to a combination of a 10 percent improvement in vehicles aerodynamics — such as the addition of an active grille shutter, a revised engine compression ratio (10.3:1 from 10.0:1), reduced internal engine friction and an optimized oil pump.

Exhaust braking uses engine compression to decrease the need for braking when you are driving downhill.

There are many causes of hard starting but illustrative ones are a faulty engine coolant temperature switch (sensor), worn spark plugs, inadequate fuel delivery or pressure (e.g., clogged fuel filter), dirty fuel injectors, contaminated or old gasoline, malfunctioning idle air control valve, poor engine compression, and so forth.
