NE NJ local meets on Tuesday nights
Can the cold cause the 8 to go into a limp mode????
I started the car today, normal start, came back 15 minutes later once it was warmed up and found a solid check engine light. I drove for a few feet and it felt like 10hp was moving it.
So i proceeded to do the 20 brake pedal ecu reset. Car drove fine after that but the light stayed on. I went to auto zone and no codes came up from the scanner. Any idea whats going on???

You should also get a Cobb AccessPORT, great investment and it would tell you what your code is.
Out of warranty. Ive had 2 Accessport ecu's and sold them both. Your right there great for reading/clearing codes. Ill give it a few miles to turn off before i look deeply into whats going on. Just hoping it was the engine not liking the 5 degrees weather at warm up.
The most prudent might be bringing it to Mazda

Yeaaa im not really a go to the stealership kind of guy. Im gonna try another obd scanner tomorrow, if not ill borrow my old AP from a local buyer and see if it catches the code.
BUT
my car did a funny thing when i started it and it was colder than about -15. as soon as i put the car in neutral and let it warm up, it would run through a rev cycle? as in, it would rev itself to about 3 k about once a second for five minutes (about). when it got warm enough it would stop revving and run at about 2 k, and then slowly decrease engine speed to a normal of 750 at optimal temp. i've never seen another car do that before. it's kind of unnerving. when it was warmer though, or if i ran it recently... like a couple hours before... it would NOT do this. so i'm positive it was a TEMP issue and not really a MAF issue, like i first thought.
odd huh?
also, for reference, lcd screens don't really work at about -3 deg f... so forget knowing your speed and what radio channel you're listening to, haha.
