I got my first CEL around 5K miles.

Nothing serious, is just stupid Air System Problem (it went away after some hard *** driving)

my Second CEL came on around 8 K Miles, this time is the Exhaust problem, I think it they need to replace it but Im too lazy to bring it in. I mean it drives and stuff so.

Anyway, go have it check. Its not going to kill You (or you can check it yourself, if you have Scanlyser like me )

This car monitors so many parameters that it could be numerous things, some serious and some not. Get it checked out pronto.

Well got my car done.. said soemthign about gas regualter was losing its soemthing.. but then he said my gas cap was cracked so they replaced it... Also he sateted that about 95% of cel ( check engine lights ) are due to gas cap not on right or a gas related.. food for thought... but shes back to normal

I saw there was trackters and other farming crap... i heard that marande. is in big trouble.. i hear he was doing warrenty work well charging mazda for it but not doing the warrenty work... such as my car. i thought my gas tank recall deal was done.. but when i took it to ft myers. they said it was never done... so i guess is gettign sued by a bunch of people .. he went bankrupt... the thing was that dealership was way out in the sticks kinda... but rumor has it either germain or naples dodge is gonna be getting the mazda.. cant wait
