    Rough Cold Start: PCM update?

    If your rough cold start is a newer issue and the PCM has not changed then it is unlikely that an update will correct it. More likely that a sensor is not registering the temp properly...

    CX-5 Engine Swap?

    I saw a blog where a guy dropped a small block chevy V8 in a Miata. It took a year or so with a lot of welding and rebuilding but he made it work. I think he pulled the computer and wiring out of a Corvette along with the engine. I think he ended up with a heat problem if he pushed it hard...

    Dangerous cylinder deactivation trouble on 2018 CX-5 and Mazda6 models

    For years engines operated with one intake and one exhaust valve per cylinder effectively but at lower rpms and many still do. At high rpms there is less time for the air to move and thus the design with multiple valves so as to get high power with high rpms out of smaller lighter engines even...

    Some Questions about the Gen 2 CX-5

    1. You can set it to slightly shake the wheel when you get close to a line and you get a slight nudge in the correct direction. 2. My 2020 GT + has sign recognition with a nav card. Many have picked up a nav card online for less than 100 and it included updates but for the new bigger nav screen...

    CX-5 SD card update problem

    The dealer may have purchased it on line and sold it to you, was it on the window sticker? Also possible the update program has not been updated, has anyone been successful updating with the new 2021 cards?

    2017~2025 Rear hatch opening by itself?

    I found a video showing how to change the fob battery in my 2020 and took it one step further to reach the plastic spindle on the back of the tailgate open fob button and cut it off. Problem solved, I never used the fob to open the tailgate anyway.

    Is there a way to reduce steering effort?

    I had a 2013 and a 2016. To me my 2020 (all GTs) is lighter in steering that the other two. I thought it might have to do with lane departure having "room" to shake the wheel? Do you have lane departure turned on?

    2017~2025 CX-5 Abnormal Oil Use
