The sequence of events that I detailed on the previous page explains what the Mazda service department did and how they handled the bill. The only thing I can add is that replacing the O2 sensor resolved the issue. 76K now and it hasn't come back.

I understand this. I have the ability to pull codes and get all the information I need on them. That does not mean I have the ability to definitively deduce what has caused the error. The dealer does, for the simple fact that they can eliminate possibilities by replacing parts (something that...

I just got off the phone with the service technician. They went through a series of troubleshooting to resolve the problem. -Replaced the air box with as they have seen problems with them in the past. That did not resolve the lean condition. -Tested the fuel in the tank, everything came...
