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?

The thread was titled as stalling at high speed, but the incident started with braking while on MRCC. I am questioning his choice of words. 😁 Not sure how much braking the system applies under those circumstances. It seems that there are two problems.

Thank you for pointing that out! I have only experienced stalling at low speeds due to electrical reasons. The OP described stalling after sudden braking. I thought the braking already brought the speed down before he finally stalled. I am interested in understanding this issue but have no...

For me it was the mentioning of a certified letter to the GM. Nowadays people just threaten legal action openly, no need to use certified mail. Like it's ok to break up by text, no need for an eloquent dear-John letter. Before things went south I was reading up on how MRCC works and why braking...

*Searching on Youtube for: Mazda "Christmas tree" and "spark plugs".....*

If the problem is electrical, it may take some time for it to get bad enough to throw codes. In my case it took a week or two. I am sure the dealership is better able to pinpoint the source before codes come up. 🧐

Just want to note that there is a lot more action in 2/3/5/6 than RX. I don't mind having to go all the way to the bottom. 😊

Good to know! How were you able to trace it to the plugs/coils? I'd be stumped after fuse/battery. 😬

Hard to tell but it looks clean. The FL22 for Skyactiv engine was light blue/green after 153K miles. I have had to take more drastic measures on other cars when the fluid came out brown with rust.

@Dre3511 This thread seems to address your concerns...

@Dre3511

I am inclined to believe that you can proceed with the friction modifier and then drain/fill with the right fluid. First generation CX-9 discussions can be found here: Mazda CX-9 Forum Let me also call for help. 🙂 Dear @sm1ke can you point Dre3511 to the applicable threads? He found mine...

Sorry I assumed incorrectly! Everything is different. Do you have the owner's manual for fluid level check procedure? https://www.mazdausa.com/siteassets/pdf/owners-optimized/2008/cx9/2008-cx-9-owners-manual.pdf
