Yeah.....that was a real cute trick.........I would've faxed that to HQ in an instant!

 

lol powersteering fluid change ..... rofl !!!!!!!!

 

coils are the lastest.

i've been driving around with cel, on and off on some days, but i believe my front o2 censor is bad. i will take a look when pulling the cat if i get a chance.

when i drove with the new plugs, i did a pull in 2nd (with all what was described before) the CEL started flashing. so I turned into a median to go back, the CEL went away. I pulled again just to verify the points of misfire/sluggish feel the CEL started to blink again when turning into another median.

geez, i hate '04 already.

 

misfire happened to me a *while* ago. twice, of course CEL stayed on.

then I just ignore it and keep driving it like nutz .... never came back after that, yet.

 

i guess you dont know what the cel is?? not the blinking one.. you might be having fun with what i just went through, but one of the things is the front o2 sensor..

that was not my issue. btw, look at the plug wires close.. where the connection is.. i can send you a set if needed.

beers

 

i just examine them thoroughly?

i have a set of MSD wires that i bought from SR about a year and a half ago. I had them on for a while, but took them off because it threw a CEL (but it was just a misfire, and yeah). Should I give the MSD wires a chance and just take pics of the oem plugs and post here?

 

look at the connectors the attach to the plugs for corrosion... and make sure they are in the coils tight.. the front lower one tends to come loose.

i would compare the wires and see if you can see something odd...

but with new plugs and coils.. that is the odd man out..

also pull the room fuse to reset the ecu...


beers

 

there was some corrosion on the plug(s). i'll post pics tomorrow and reset ecu.

so just pull the room fuse, reset and install again?

 

pull fuse,

step on brake..

send the photos to my email.. i think you have it..

if not send me a pm.

beers

 

pulled room, reset, no more misfire.

you still want pics of the wires?

 

not if the end connections look good...

btw, after the fuse pull the idle is going to be funny for a couple of drive cycles..

beers

 

yeah, it was still dropping to 500rpm after driving ten miles that included 3 3rd gear pulls.

thanks scott, and everyone else + OP for letting me borrow his thread.

 

yep,

no problem.. i like the second to third gear pulls..

beers

 

They used to have it in France as well for a while.. I think they might have even had a bigger one...

Then I was in Tokyo over New Years they had a big mac with egg in it.. Crazy

bose - so what's up? any news from the clowns at Mazda?

 

India all McDonalds products are served with Mutton because Hindus don't eat beef

 

^ Cool. I might have a chance to go out to India for work at some point, but I'm a little scared..

 

Oh yes here's the lastest gem from the lead tech. He said that my cat wasn't clogged he used the wrong term, he said that the 2nd o2 sensor readings are 'off' what they normally look for so my ecu adjusted the air intake and fuel consumption, so I altered the vehicle, at this point I interrupt and ask so that causes seals to blow, his response was no, we're not sure what made the seals go bad. Then I refer to Mag Moss you guys have to prove what about my parts caused the failure, he says no you have to prove they didn't cause failure. Well my intake is the same as the one you sell with a mazdaspeed sticker, my cat is in perfect condition I have a muffler shop that can vouch and my exhaust is more free flowing they couldn't cause this. He says well how do you explain the reading from the o2 sensor look we can go back and forth on this all day fact is your motor is bad and it's not covered cause of the parts. So they admit they have no clue what caused the problem, I have proved my parts are fine and still I get no help. Next step...I guess court or somthing. What I don't get is my car still runs fine no power loss idk, I still wonder if the compression is even bad maybe they don't know how to check it.

 

They sound like idiots over there. Maybe you should get a compression check somewhere else.

 

^ Make sure they warmed it up properly before doing the compression check? Maybe find a rotary shop to do it for you so you're 100% sure it's done properly.

Here's another good piece on the MM Act http://www.knfilters.com/warrantyletter.htm

 

They're idiots. Whats the dealership's number and what is the lead tech's name ?

Maybe I should start giving them a call, I want to make sure that they understand english and re-read what it saids on the Moss Act. How about a file to small claims court sound to them and/or Mazda ?

What did Mazda say now ? Have you give them a call recently ?

and they ask how can you explain the motors went bad? How fuxking stupid can they get? **** happens? Tell them, Why some people never smoke, never drink, Eat right and excerise everyday, Going to bed in the right time, never messed around can still get Cancer? Ask them that, Yeah I wanna them to give me an explaination in that too.

I can explain that, cuz **** ******* HAPPENS EVERY DAY !

I dont understand these people, if they are fuxking lazy and dont want to do ****, why didnt they study hard back in school and get a more decent job ? They're not even that low pay, being a dealership tech can get them what, 15-20 bux an hour? and they're still lazy as fuxk. god!

Seriously, can you go to another dealership by any chance? cuz this one u're going right now are nothing but a bunch of fuxk tards.

 

If you're talking about engine replacement, you are likely over the limit for small claims

 

In NYC I think the limit is about 3000 dollars for each case.

Im not even sure if they did the compression right in the first place. Cuz that place sound like a wonderland for lazy crooks

 

^+1 million

 

if its 1 million, Im *pretty* sure that the small claims court will be pack everyday from 8 to 5

 

Im almost positive they didn't do the test right. cause my compression numbers they gave me are like 6.4, 6.3, 6.5. From everyone I have talked to who has low compression their cars either won't start and if they do start they don't run well at all, loss of power and such. My car feels no different at all, she starts, runs, idles well everything seems great, cel has been gone for 2 weeks. I was reading on how to check rotory compression you need a specialized tester, when I asked the dealer how they did it, they said same as a piston engine!

Yeah I believe the limit in small claims is 3 grand.

Dennis is the tech's name, Bountiful Mazda is the dealer 801-397-2277.
