Hey if you haven't bought a BT dongle yet, please search on this forum for Forscan Lite. That's the most comprehensive app for Mazdas. There are specific OBD2 devices that are compatible with the app. 🧐

Thank you! Do you happen to know at what temp will the car scream bloody murder (overheating)? 😅

Engine oil temp is 207 in the morning and 215 around noon. On my longer weekend trip it can go over 220. Is this normal? Never tried to read the engine oil temp before. If this is high, what could be the contributing factors? 😅

Thank you I will try to add these too!

Thank you! I will see if I can get the TPS values with my scanner/app.

This wasn't the latest version though, it was the one that I could get overnight by Prime, at the time. 😅 I could have waited two more days and paid $10 more for the latest version.

Thank you! What would be the healthy range of numbers?

I bought a Veepak BT dongle for the BimmerLink app when I was working on my R56 in July. Now that it doesn't start any more, I use the dongle on the CX-3 with the Car Scanner Pro app. I forgot what additional features I got for $5 extra. It's nice to have 6 values displayed on one page and I can...

Do any of you keep your OBD2 scanner on to monitor values not shown on the car's dashboard? I have a spare Android phone that is now doing that job. Besides coolant temp (194~214), ATF temp (188~208), battery/ECU voltage (14/13), there are many more sensors to choose from the app. I understand...

When I found my SA in 2018, it had been neglected for many years by several owners. I was lucky that it was still running and only slightly molested. It took me several weeks to go over the basic items on my own with guidance from fellow owners on the forum. It then went to an indie shop for...

For all my 1st Gen. questions, I go to rx7club. Their 3rd gen. section will give you a pretty good sense of the kinds of challenges they face and what solutions are available. There are many groups for FDs but I am not sure which one is best.. The vibes/demographics are slightly different...

Congrats on getting close to owning a FD! If you don't get any meaningful response here in a day or two, let me know. There are a couple of other places to check. 😁

By cleaning, do you guys mean using engine flush type of products? It would be interesting to see the improvement after a few rounds. 🧐

Read about the story months ago and came across the clip today.

When the OP accelerated (to 75 mph) to pass the car in the far left lane, did that override the MRCC (set to 72 mph) momentarily? If so, it wasn't the MRCC that triggered the braking? Or is MRCC always actively monitoring when near the set speed?
