After 2 weeks.....Conclusion...

Ok as you all know my car was in the shop due to misfiring issues, and having a cali spec cpu. So now I have the cad spec cpu and after 2 days of testing and compresion tests, the light has not come back on, and on there computer they dont see any misfiring at low and high rpms. I took it on a drive for 30 mins with the mechanic and it didnt come on. They gave me this



so hopefully this is the last of my problems. Does these test results look legit? its the format they emailed it to me too. Hopefully not something made up.

To me, I would say that the compression numbers seem low given that the rotors were turning over at 282 RPM's.
If you locate where 282 RPM's would be on the attached chart below then the compression should be around ~130 or so.
I noticed that for the good numbers in green on the right of the chart they sent you it makes no allowance for rotor speed.

as your brake pads wear the fluid level drops. when you replace your worn pads it should fill back up.

the light came off on its own, mazda checked fluids and cables, and say it was all fine. They checked for free while they replaced my font lip for free that they damaged.
