It's a nice warm sunny 80 degrees here in florida today! (hump)
I might actually go outside in the warm and take pictures of my car to show you whats up w/ ur sensors and s***.

EDIT -
Went outside to smoke a quick bowl and took some pictures for you.
It's soo nice today, my EnV2 actually took a decent picture!
EDIT Dos-
Notice the ambient temp. sensor w/ wire and Mazda specific clip. Also use the lines on the radiator as a reference point to look at to notice the angle (or lack there of) of my cooling line. And ignore the road grime, got it this morning driving to school... ugh

Jared,
Thank you for the pics, I cant tell you how much I appreciate seeing someone whos willing to go out of their way to help someone else. It seems to be a hard thing to find these days. People coming in here saying "your cars running so F*ck it", just gets under my skin. Thanks again. Im going to go out and take a good look at mine again while I have a little light left. Have a great night man.

today its 14 degrees.... THATS WHY IM NOT OUTSIDE TAKING MY CAR APART. California doesnt know what winter is apparently.
Ok. I dont have ALL the info I an trying to get. I just took some better pics of some stuff and what looks like happened is, whoever rebuilt the car bolted each side of this line into holes they made which are way too low. I found too big holes up higher which look like the bolts should have gone up in them. I will post pics in a few mins and hopefully someone can confirm my theory.
It didnt have an FMIC. I talked to the body shop the other day to ask since someone mentioned it in this thread
ahhh...i wonder why they didn't bolt that s*** up to the proper holes.
Im going to bring it to a friends garage to do.
haha this thread is great.
Basicly once it's all said and done dark, you should just save the money and time you'd waste fixing that problem and just get a FMIC. In my eyes, it's a perfectly valid excuse to get one. If I didn't have a warentee and all that other new car b.s. i would do the same
And i understand what you are saying bout cold weather and being paranoid. I suffer from the same symptoms with my car, except I won't work on my car if it's below 50... (I'm warm blooded)
