You nailed it! The car came to me after new plugs were put in by another mechanic. I got another CX-5 to start testing/swapping parts. Started with coils, then plugs, and noticed a big difference in the plug type in the working CX-5. Plugs are $32 a piece at the dealer! Be careful...

See if one being shut off has less effect than the others. Maybe another weak injector. Honestly just swapping the whole rail over from a known good car would be more definitive. I'm nervous about the Teflon seals getting ruined. It requires a special tool to put them back on supposedly...

I think the timing being pulled is a result of all the knock. As I sweep the graph it starts at 43* and quickly drops. I don't have access to a smoke machine. I have capped the brake vacuum port and visually triple checked all the hoses. This car isn't very old and the hoses are in good shape...

Car behaved the same with the rear O2 in free air. Car is completely stock. Just a daily driver for my G/F's Dad. I have access to another CX-5 (G/F's brother) but it's hard to align schedules. Everyone needs their car. This CX-5 has been in my driveway for a week now, while he drives our...

ForScan gave me some new information. I could see the Commanded Fuel Pressure, which I could not see before. So I was able to verify that the Fuel Pressure at the Rail was always in line with the commanded. I also disconnected the rear O2 since it's actually in front (I know sounds weird) of...

Installed ForScan for windows. Registered on site... waiting for approval.

The harness is pretty tight to the motor. It's only a 2013. The connectors feel secure and look new. Unfortunately I cannot do some of the troubleshooting, like turning on and off injectors with HP Tuners. The manual for the SkyActiv-G says to use some "M-MDS" thing which I do not have access...

You didn't read the whole thing sir. I moved #4 to #3 to see if the misfire moved with it. It did not. All 4 coils are replaced. New plugs New front o2 New #4 injector

I have not, but would that effect drive-ability? Is the computer throwing more fuel at the cat because it's rich? Here's a snap shot of where it typically misses / hesitates: Engine RPM (SAE) 3,385 rpm Throttle Position (SAE) 32.2 % Timing Advance (SAE) 24.0 Mass Airflow (SAE) 37.0 g/s...

Need some help troubleshooting a 2013 Mazda CX-5 2.0L w/130k miles Original problem: DTC P0304 – Cylinder 4 Misfire and sometimes a P0300 Symptoms:Misfires / hesitation under load only. Idles and rev's freely in park fine. Higher RPM driving seems OK too. Lower RPM with high load, bad...
