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

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!

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.

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.
