Wish I could. Someone pointed me to a link with a download of a 2 page Mazda service bulletin from December 2004. Unfortunately in a fit of neatness I tossed it. I can't look now, but it will be in one of the threads I've got a post in. I don't have that many. Yet. If you get a chance to look before I do 
, can you let me know? It was news to my sales guy too.

Well, I got the car back today. New spark plugs, new battery and they went ahead and did a recall fix (pass. airbag sensor).... oh and a car wash of course 
Well, the car works now... and I'm glad to have it back. I havent driven it in 2 weeks!
Only thing is now I'm worried about starting the car and not letting it warm up all the way. I just had to move it about 10 mins ago cause it was blocking my mom's car. I let it warm up a little then reved it to about 3k then shut her off.

I must have a defective owner's manual for my brand new '04 GT that I just picked up. It says almost nothing in it about flooding. The only procedure it mentions to cure it is to crank for no more than 10 seconds with the throttle fully depressed.
