Seppuku

I've had her a week now, good for going back and forth to work but seems to be using more gas than it should. Its an 06 mazda3 S with the 2.3 engine. Almost all the options from what i can tell moonroof, 6 disk in dash changer, ect.. Cant decide if i'll keep it a while or trade it for the speed, but thats a whole different story. Now i just have to start remembering which car im in on the way to work. This thing doesnt like on ramps doing 70

9BASE3

That's a decent lookin ride.

Hey, that thing looks just like my '05 MPV, except for the part where it's not a minivan.



But the paint and the whole front end treatment is like identical.

yo mike you ever heard of an 05 mazda 3 with no codes showing no problems in any area (fuel trim, o2 sensor, ect, throttle body bla bla bla) but idles at like 1150rpm?



ive had this problem *** car for a week now and i cant find anything and techline has me running in circles.

people usually complain about em idling low? no vacuum leak? i imagine you hooked up the laptop and you can see how open the throttle is?

throttle pos. relative is actually a little lower then a car that idles normally, its at like 1.5% and the accelerator pedal position is a little lower then normal (swapped out TB's twice and the accelerator pedal twice)



its annoying, im about to try changing the timing to lower it manually.
