my ****** engine light came back on P0302 AAGAAIN! i thought it was gone for good. its when i hit 5000rpm it comes on flashing then shots off, and the 3rd time it flashes the stays on solid. New coils, new spark plugs (Done before misfire) dont know what else it could be... wires? some sort of sensor? they said they did all the resets including the KAN reset.

Try doing a spark test with the wires... find some place dark.. get a spray bottle with a mist setting.. fill with water and with the car running.. start squirting at the wires. If you see any flashes.. or hear and kinda pop's... then you're wires are shorting.. that could cause this kinda thing.

After that's done you're pretty much about half way to checking for a new engine. Think the only thing the dealers do in addition these days are a seafoam and compression test.

Check wires
Clean your E-shaft position sensor.
Do seafoam yourself. It's pretty easy.

my car is currently getting maintenance at the dealer today. So they will be checkin the plugs and wires today. They already put in new coils. Also they are gonna get the crank angle sensor and injectors. Also do a Carbon Cleanup in the motor and redo the compression test "Cause they claim they lost my test results" which I think they lied and never even did a compression test...

Well, I saw in the other thread you got the car back and no CEL and seems to be running better after the carbon cleaning. Did they re-run the compression?

Do you know if they used Seafoam or the Mazda cleaner?
