hope it needs the new starter recall performed still and not just flooded badly.
how many miles are on the car and did you have it fully warm the last time you parked it?

I just joined the MyMazda site and under recalls for my car it says "no recalls"???

It was totally warm when I parked it (i had driven it for about 40 minutes prior to parking), has about 33,000 miles on it.

wow seems i missed alot... lol plugs you can get for 80 at an autozone don't pay more... and were all more than willing to help with any installs but yes get her towed to the dealership and have them diagnose and let us know what it is... More often than not we can fix it much cheaper lol!

On a side note; Welcome to the forums and where do you go to school? I'm at Wash U.

Masked i Dont think i have ever seen you write so much on this forum

Ryan you suck that is all

Wow I missed a lot yesterday! How long are you turning the car over for? In really cold weather I have to turn mine over for a pretty long time before it starts sometimes I even do the de-flood procedure to get it to start. It really depends on the oil you are using is my guess. It didn't used to be so bad but I went to a thicker oil this year. If your car is new to you I'm sure you wouldn't know. Did you purchase it at a Mazda dealer or somewhere else? That could help give me some ideas.

Correlation does not imply causation. What kind of phone is taking the pictures? Maybe you used a thumbnail representation? A higher resolution screen will make the image appear smaller on your screen.
