Took my car out today and on the way back from about an hour drive got stuck in traffic on the toll road so like everyone else I turned around. To get in to traffic I had to get into it pretty good. In 3rd at about 7k CEL Flash then turned off. This would be the Second time this has happen, first was at 115mph. so I took it to the Dealer Basney Mazda. They said fouled plugs, and it ran fine until now.
So I guess what I'm asking is can this problem ever be fixed. I have searched threads and no one seems to have a definite fix for this REALLY ANOYING PROBLEM.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks

generally speaking, a flashing MIL at mid to high RPM with no driveability concern needs an eccentric shaft profile reset. disconnect the battery for about 10 minutes, hook it back up and turn the ignition to on(key on engine off). tap the brake pedal 20 times in 8 seconds and youll watch the oil pressure gauge sweep to halfway then go back down, thats how you know its been successfull. then just drive it and see how it does. if it fixes it, great you didnt spend any money. if it doesnt... oh well no loss

Well I was right, I had a miss fire on the front rotor, and on the back rotor. So like any ok dealership their going to throw parts at it. Their plan is to repalce plugs, wires, and coils. I guess we'll see if it works.

When you get it back still do what mazdatech177 said. If you don't want to mess with the Battery you can reset the PCM by holding down the odometer reset while you turn the key to on without starting the motor and continue to hold until you see the word TEST and then repeat two more times. Also do the Brake pedal thing.
