The Mazda Technician called me today and said all he can see is that I need a new fuel pump. Me hitting the water puddle was just pure coincidence!! So hopefully that is the only problem. He said everything else looked fine, just a fuel pump. Which of course they are charging me out the *** for!!! I hate dealerships!!! Wont find out if everything is good till they get it in though!! Fingers still crossed!

I'm curious how many miles do you have on it. Do you pre-mix and if so what have you used?

That does seem early, but oh well, at least you'll now have a clean fuel "sock" filter as well.

Thanks for all your help guys!! I really appreciate it, ive been freaking out for over a week now haha. I hope it is only the fuel pump, from what i was experiencing it makes total sense though, except for the puddle having nothing to do with it. I will keep yall posted!
