He is checking...

 

...............thank your little birdie for us

 

indeed..get your lill birdie a beer or two :D

 

Maybe your little birdie can save me a lot of time....I'm in for a 12 pack.

Hey mods..maybe this can be put in the "Tech" section?

 

Better yet - have him practice, by re-flashing my car! :D How late does he stay there?

 

Let's just say that "P" does not stand for power

Darin - answer your PM

 

you aren't going to share with the rest of us?

thats just mean :p

 

Even if he flashes the car he still has to log data with the old parameters and compare what they changed.

 

So its confirmed the p flash should be available? Please post differences in power after the reflash to p.

 

This sucks I just had my car into the dealers last week for the N flash and so they could fix my tail light. I dont know how happy they will be to see my car again for the P flash

 

so what did it change? or what issue did it try to resolve.

 

we'll know tomorrow or the next day what exactly its for but i can tell you its NOT power.

 

right now I'd settle for a slightly higher idle setting

 

PM answered.

 

i should be able to find out what it does tomorrow.
my car will be getting it done (assuming I can convince them to let me talk to my mechanic).

 

I would hold off and just get the "N" flash...

 

Already have the N flash...
hrmm.. maybe i'll just ask what it does..

 

Great idea

 

thanks for popping the bubble :p
why can't it ever be for added power

 

Flashes revealed:

Q Flash- "Q"uieter, but needs more power
R Flash- "R"uns better, needs more power
S Flash- "S"moother, yet slow
..... Perhaps the Z Flash will be the one:

Z Flash- "Z"oom Zoom!

Or maybe not. Why do they tease me like this!

 

haha funny guy ^^^ hopefully P will do wonders... if not im not going in again for another flash!

 

Don't waste your time..

 

I talked to my mechanic last night, and he said this is not for power. It has something to due with climate control. He told me to stay on M or N. Some dealers will go ahead and flash your car without you knowing what you are getting, so please ask about any PCM related issues when you go in for service. I'll know more today after he looks into it better.

 

Climate Control as in manual or automatic?

 

Threads like this remind me just how LOST I'd be without this site. Looking forward to you gurus finding out more.

I'll say this, though, Mazda sure seems to be going to great lengths to get the PCM programming right. This stuff ain't free.
