First of all, good morning every one TGIF.

Any hwo i have a quick question. as you may all know i had a Stuck Valve (secondary stuck valve) issue a month ago, which caused loss of power. So i did the Engine Clean up, got rid of the problem.


but i still have time to time a loss of power and loud noises under the car (cat area) when i have these issues.. told the dealership yester day these problems that i am hving. So they did a flash update, it didnt fix my problem. So he tells me to leave the car and they will do a diag test. but if they dotn find any problems, they will charge me 114.00. Even though if the TSB it says, do the flash update if this does not fix the problem, (which it didnt) check the Cat.

so my question is ,even though i dont have a check engine light on, does my error message that i recieved a month ago store into the PCM memory? so i can point to them that this did occur? I have already callled mazdausa, because i feel taht my dealership didnt take the right procedures on checking my car. So t hey can notate

 

My dealership is FXXXXing retarded. They tell me, reason why i have lack of power issues is due to a bent cross member. they straighten and it out . Also the car has never been in a wreck. Now why would they apply heat to a cross member to straighten something out. it only weakens the metal. then on top of that they charge me 95.00. so the power of loss 2 freaking days ago is due to a cross member. they msut think im smoking crack.

so i tell them, so your telling me that a x member being bent caused the lack of power? TSB states that the cause is due to bad Cat conveter. did you even take it off to inspect it? he tells me no error came up, so we dotn have to take it off. . so glad i called mazdausa yesterday . going to get a print out of the test they done and fax that over to mazdausa.

the hell? next things you know dealerships are going to say broken sun visors are the cause of lack of power.
