M Flash
Maybe this is a dumb question but can someone please explain what exactly M Flash is and what it has to offer.
thanks |
Oh my sweet lord. For the love of God, use the search button. And yes, it is a dumb question.
thanks |
I hate to say this, but I second the search button thing.
There are a TON of updates apparently... Try the tech garage forum |

OK. Here it is in a nutshell. Your car has a computer (called the ECU here on the board). Its program controls fuel among other things. Mazda has updated this program several times over the past year. The LATEST version is "M". We call this the M Flash (people talk about flashing the ECU). There is a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) that can be found on the Rosenthal Mazda site that states that all cars made before a certain date would benefit from the M flash and should be upgraded. This flash will help cold starts, idle, maybe even fuel economy. Next time you have the car serviced ask your service tech about the flash. If they don't know about it ask them to research it. You can test to see if you car has at least the L flash if you turn the key to on (don't start the car) then tap the brake pedal 20 times within about 8 seconds. The OIL Gauge needle should sweep from zero to 1/2 and back to zero. Hope this helps. Welcome to the board.

I'm sorry - if you would have taken the sme time to go through your search results as you did with your nice little note to me, you would have also found your answer.
Sorry you're lazy. |

well, just to prove how lazy you are, I did a search for M flash, and these are the results that came up. If you're telling me you can't get your answer from ANY of these results, then perhaps you should try some reading comprehension classes.
This search took me all of 3 seconds. |
Pidge, why are you getting so excited about this? Plenty of people (including me) would be happy to provide a quick answer to a quick question -- even one that has been answered before. It's really not a big deal. Just hit "next thread" if you don't feel answering the question yourself. Play nice.
|
I'm not getting excited. I just don't see how new members say they do something when it is obvious they didn't.
If every new member had this attitude, this forum would be flooded with endless pages of questions that have been answered time and time again. Maybe newbies don't know HOW to use the search button? I don't really get it. |
let's chill, enjoy our cars, and be a little more tolerable of one another.
|
I've never started a thread for fear of this type of retaliation. The search function usually gives you an answer to pretty much everything and some things you didn't want to know about...

I don't know what your days are like but I unfortuantely do NOT have all day to wade through what seems like a MILLION posts that don't directly answer my question because most of it is segmented babble. I have no problem with you asking the question. Someone will come along and help out eventually. But don't assume you're the only busy person on the board. ;) |
I have search many times on this forum and half the time it comes back and says the Admin has limited you to one search per 20 secs and its my first search. Also you have to use too many words and cannot use such things as ECU or flash which is a better description then electronic control unit which no one uses.

I don't really get it. Hey, of ALL of you, someone may have the time to answer the question and if they do....great (I'd do that for anyone else If I could).....If you don't want to answer it, IGNORE it. I don't see whats to get your panties all up in a bunch about. Anyways I'm done with you you're not worth the time and I could think of a million better things to do than to argue stupid shit like this. good luck in whatever you do. |

334,906 posts-how many off topic because people want to lay into others who ask the wrong question. If you cant say something nice dont say anything

There sure seem to be some intolerant pricks on this forum. You sure know how to welcome new members and incourage them to be a part of the community.
Go back to bed and get up on the other side next time! |
Guys, why can't we all hold hands around the forum and be friends? I think Pidge and Condor need to make up.
