as there is no steam cleaning service here, the mechanic just cleaned d engine with detergent & jet it with water. Then they dry it by using compressed air.
the bonnet insulation cover is removed as it is soaked with oil. Now waiting for replacement to come, hope the bonnet paint will not get cooked for now.
The engine checklight is due to cam sensor cable connection being either loose or oil gets in. The Mazda mechanic reset it using d diagnostic laptop.
took d car for a spin, the torque pull is simply marvelous
have not WOT yet as i need to get used to d car first. It is quite stable as well.
my gripe is that from 1st. gear to 2nd. gear, the engine behave as if it is a NA car. The boost hardly picked up.
when i shift up to 3rd, the car personality changed
just wondering, is this how the torque limiter supposed to work or this kind of engine response is not normal?
That's normal the way it feels in low gears. Cheap hypertech flash tune fixes that.
And the bonnet pad is for sound deadening, nothing to do with heat, so no need to worry about that
Ideal shift point in non modified MPSs is around 5500 rpm. Beyond that the computer starts closing the throttle plate in 1st and 2nd as part of the torque limiting. Not much point in going beyond that
Keep an eye on the check engine light (CEL) also. If it comes on again, straight back to the dealer
