One of the rules states that you must have a clear title for your thread. We shouldn't have to open it to see what it's about.



Time your cold start and your hot start. If the hot start takes noticeably longer, take it in to a Mazda dealer for a compression test, the motor is probably failing.

If everyone's first post was against the rules, it would be a rather big mess to clean it up?

There are announcements and stickies at the top of this subforum, where the rules are linked or posted several times, trying to get people to read them even before their first post.
