New update

Well the car is still at mazda , they replaced the contoler for the secondary oil pump (oil injectors) now they are getting all sorts of codes. So they are back to thinking bad PCM. So now back to waiting for Mazda Canada.

It feels like my poor car has been in the shop all summer

I've been keeping an eye on this thread, what was the mileage on your car when this happened?

And yes it does suck that your car has been in the shop for so long. They can change the motor in less time

Fisher

I have 40k on the car. It happened back in mid to late july.
I am going to do my weekly Wednesday call for update. I hope to know more

Fisher

Update !!!!!! New Engine
Well ppl I would hope I should on have 1 more update after this when the new engine is in.

That right 40 000km on a 2009 r3 . New engine time. I think I might be the first with a s2 and new engine. I hope to have the car by Friday. at least that what's Mazda said

I'm glad your getting a new motor or most likely a remain, but shitty it took 2 months to figure
out.

Did they come up with a solid reason for what happened

Fisher

From what I was told they just ran out of things to try. so no reason right now on what the cause was.
And ya remain but a s2 ver and I bet their could not have been to many of them done yet. so it might be a end of production one.

As I understand it, oil supply or coolant supply to the throttle body is not for cooling purposes, but for heating purposes. When the outside air is cold and humid, and the throttle valve is mostly closed, the drop in air pressure behind the throttle valve can cause the humidity to freeze into ice inside the throttle body, jamming the throttle valve. Oil flow or coolant flow is provided to keep the throttle body warm enough that it can't ice-up.

Nothing really you can do,they have to complete their work. Hopefully correctly and when they're
complete and everything is fine, let them know how dissapointed you are in their dealership and service department and just move on.

Bingo ...

Fisher

Ya 3rd engine now !!! Let's hope this one works

wazup_shorty

They are ******* it up more than they are fixing it. the oil in intake thing could be just a bad pcv valve for all I know. Its the only thing controlling the pressure in the crank case.

Fisher

Yay new update....... they lost the engine hmmm don't know when they will get it.

lucky week 13 with no car

Fisher

update !!! good news New engine is in the car!!! and from what I was told they did not send a referb this time .... it look like a brand new one.!!

I know that there haven't been any new engines for Series 1 for a while, though I could see Series 2 new engine still in stock somewhere to obtain. Gratz!
