If it has over 80K miles, it's not covered any longer. The owner would also have to take it to a Mazda dealer to get Mazda to warranty the cat.Quote:

SAMMM,
Were you able to get a copy of the 'warranty report' from the dealer?
Any new info there?
Also, when cleaning that manifold, its the small holes that are the dirtiest- and the hardest to clean.
I forgot all about that! :oops: I'll call them this morning and see if I can get a copy.Quote:

Ton's of hits on the :batman: board. I'm going to try pulling the intake off again and re-check/re-clean the EGR port (especially the small port that's on the inside of the intake). I read where a few people recommended using a zip tie to help clean out that port since it has a few twists & turns in it.
You can run down to Michael's or other such craft store and pick up a ton of oversized, extra-long wire pipe cleaners.
FYI- you are not going to get a code that says, "Hey! you gotta a bad coil pack." It will cause other problems and throw those codes. Other codes like P0402-Excessive EGR flow, and its friend P0420- 'ecessive flow EGR.'Quote:

I didn't clean the intake manifold until a year after it was fixed- even tho those were the codes I was getting during my problems. I didn't get a code when I cleaned it. I just wanted it clean.
It's just a matter of time.... :twisted:
SAMMM, What's the latest word on your CEL? On...Off....still re-occuring?
