yes, thats what the universal code readers throw out, as they are not designed specifically for rotaries

there is a thursday meet. its at 1 of the in n outs. every1 goes there. i went there hella back when i was in high school with my cousin whos on these forums and drives an 8. i visit vegas often cuz my fambam is there.

yw man if the new coils dont do the trick I would look into reseting the nvram on the ECU sometimes when the eshaft is out of wack it will cause the engine to misfire or give the error code its misfiring.

and best of luck

superhypered

Well, you think they go every Thursday still? Seems like they'd get sick of it if they did it for that long. Nor do I know a time, so I don't feel like driving around too much more than I have to

and when you reset it, does your car make a scraping sound? I think thats what my mechanic did and told me the scraping sound I would hear is... I dont remember what he told me. Happens around 1-2k rpm. sounds like the driveshaft

possibly do a search but its the 20 brake pedal trick. the eshaft position needs to be reset after any major work sort of like re timing the engine by putting the engine back to top dead center. I never heard of a scraping that sounds bad dude .. its possible since your ECU needs to re learn the tooth pattern of the eshaft plate

im not an expert but I would say its worth a shot here are 2 good articles how to do it

well i read it.. but pumping it 20 times will reset it? will it make my problems go away? hm..i dont know if i should go out there and try it or not..

tony.colombo

not sure about your problem man moreso for darkhelmet and the misfire codes after he changes his plugs and coils and wires

the noise you describe not sure about that but reseting the nvram wont hurt anything

superhypered

tried it.. nothing.. read again, 20 times within 8 seconds? err. I'll try it again later, too bad the brake is all pumped up tho lol

laythor

you pump it 20 times then the oil temp gauge will sweep left to right and back again, that's how you know you did it

superhypered

hm. alright. i'll give it another shot now since im going to be leaving. hope hicks rd isnt too wet or flooded..

yah they still go. i talk to my cousin every week or so. check the regional forums. should be there somewhere. just post on there if they have weekly meets

thanks man. i paid for like 2-3 day expedited shippin which was like $15 xtra but they had like a 1 day delay or whatever so they paid for the difference and bumped me up to next day air =) which was like $40 so i get them tomorrow now which means expect them to be install by tomorrow afternoon. ill post back and let you know how it goes.

superhypered

alright, I'll research into more after I get the days off confirmed, and.. the reset worked. now i do 0-60 in 5 seconds

so the ignition coils didnt fix it =( same problem. i think its time to go get that new engine warranty =) unless u guys can think of something else.

does anyone know a good mazda dealership where the mechanics dont give you a hard time and make it easy for the engine swap? i live in millbrae and the 1 in burlingame(putnam mazda) is the closest but hes a *** and when i asked him about it he said i had to have records showing that the car has had regular maintenance blah blah blah blah i want hassle free service. i do all the maintenance myself so i dont have records.

any shop recommendations?

superhypered

oak tree wasnt douchy when i told them about my bad mpg and asked about that warranty.. lol

DarkHelmet

iTrader: (1)

did they require maintenance records?

superhypered

i dont think they would.. i cant be for certain. Engine doesnt even crank over, so you cant do a compression test, huh? I think you should try to jump start it, your battery may be dead

BlueWankel
