My car is a 2003 Mazda 6(V6 manual trans). Last weekend, I couldn't start my car (dead battery). So I popped my clutch in gear while the car was rolling to get it to start. The next morning, I went to start my car (it started, but it was hard), and drove to autozone to get a battery.
On the way, my CEL came on flashing, the car was stalling at lights, and a very prevalent tick developed, thats frequency increases with RPM. When I got to autozone (less than a mile away), I changed the battery, checked the oil (was about 1/2 a quart low, so I added it). It was still stalling and ticking, but no check engine light anymore. So I added some Chevron fuel sys.cleaner.
Got it back, disconnected my battery for 24 hours, and started it again. The stalling issue was gone, but the ticking still remains. I haven't started the car in a few days since its at home. A week before this I also had 2 CEL's, one for a misfire and one for a bad cat or downstream O2 sensor. Any thoughts?
