______

My mazda dealer says that there aren't any flashes out, except for engine startup. He said if there were any flashes online that he could ask a tech about it.

I read how all of you get PCM and ECU flashes at your dealerships, but mine doesn't have them? What do I tell them??

__________, maybe they mean there are no updates to the flash?


WTF...you couldn't come up with a name for yourself?

Just print them out and show them. Actually Some dealerships have no clue. I wouldnt know if I would trust them doing the job if they dont even have the TSB's. Try another dealership!

______

Could be...maybe the previous owner had the latest flash. He made it sound like there was no such thing that could create any performance increase.

edit: the only other mazda dealership I know of just closed down. *goes searching*

Thats why. The PCM flashes are not for "performance" they are for the hard start, and engine flooding.

Just tell them you want the N flash done. If that doesn't work, not sure what will.

Morgan

just get the most recent (the N) or ask your dealer. they should have it on record.

My dealership didn't want to do my flash for me or anyting, but after 20 min. of bitching and what not, he "found" the info.

the quickest way to get your flashes is to tell them that you're having problems starting your car. Tell them that you stop the car when you in the pharmacy or market or wherever is that you go and that when you come back it takes you a while to start your car and or that when you turn it off the car don't shut off immediately and that that's frustrating you and act a little upset and disappointed and tell them like I did. Tell them that ytou have been a Mazda owner for the longest but this is disappointing and thinking of trding it in for a Honda and that will their attention, by the way I do own a Honda but I would not get rid of my RX8. I got my RX7 nearly sold, but it is in the process.

I recommend being very specific - this one should get you the 'N' flash:

Oil level warning lamp has intermittantly lit when oil level was definitely not low. Per TSB 01-007/05, vehicle should be flashed to latest PCM calibration (PN: N3Z1-18-881N for 4AT, or PN: Z3Z2-18-881N for 6MT)

Yeah same thing happened to me they said no recall for my car and no available flashes. But I remember back January when my car flooded they had told me that they reflashed it. I have a print out let me know if this is the N flash PNMC N3H202200 is this it?

zoom44

slllygrl10

they're telling me that the "N" flash is not available for my car

Check the service bulletins yourself and compare them to your VIN # to see if they apply. Sounds to me like your Stealership is trying to rip you off.
