Damn that needs to be slammed. But I understand it's a 3-row SUV lol

You changing these according to the service interval or do you do semi random spot checks?

Forgive me my am brain is still asleep. Doesn't folding the rear seats down and having a liner (i.e. weathertech or tuxmat) do the same thing? Although, the pictures look as if your fabric plywood seems to sit a lot lower than not removing the seat?

I'll take a pic tomorrow morning when I get to the car, but I think mine isn't horizontal either.

How loud are the fans?

Were you using a Bluetooth Brake Controller by any chance?

I hope Mazda isn't going for the "least costly" options and trying to sweep the other potentially more serious (don't forget $$$) issues under the rug

Oh the CX9 screen is only held in by clips? I did this on a CX5 and Had to rip out the front dash to get to it.

I'll take the plunge and get under the car and rip off the splash guards to see what's there (and take photos). I'm installing a Class 3 Hitch anyways so I'll be under there. I was also planning on doing this without jacking it up, but that'll be a game time decision lol.

Anyone do a wire run from the back to the battery on a 2nd Gen CX9? Will be running one from a 7 way trailer plug to the battery and was just curious if anyone has any tips?

Glad it solved the issue, but am confused about the trouble code vs fix LOL. I would have thought that a spark plug issue would have given you a P0302 (Cylinder 2 misfire) and not the P0202, but I am only an enthusiast.

Yes, I believe Cyl 2 is the middle on the firewall side. I don't think you'll be able to access the connector with just the engine cover off. It's not that difficult to get in there, but if you've never done any work under the hood, the task may seem a bit over your head. I found a YouTube of...

Injector circuit malfunction on cylinder 2. It's either the injector itself, the wiring/connector/harness, or the Engine/Power Control Module. It could be something as simple as poor contact at the connector. You literally disconnect and reconnect the harness/connector, but I don't think the...

If it is a starter issue, one quick way to get it to turn on first go is by whacking the starter with something while turning the key (requires two people and it's only a stop gap measure until the new starter gets installed lol).

Interesting. I guess it depends on the source of the information? 1010tires.com has Rim width range of 6.5" - 8" for the 245/70R17 tires. I got the package from a well known tire shop where I live so I'm not too concerned about it. That and I don't go autoX on these guys.

Confirmed. Running 17x7 steelies with 245/70R17 Blizzaks for winters on my 2022 CX9 GT

Typically, 12V batteries have a "resting voltage" (fully charged with car off) ~12.6 V and when the engine is running (without issues), it'll rise to somewhere in the 13.5 to 14.5 V. The battery needs at least ~13 V to charge.

Thanks for the link. Nice tear down. Wish it was the 2.5T teardown, but still a good look.

God I miss that car dearly (had the GTS). That motor really woke up between 6000 - 8400 RPM. Topped out at 220km/h; did this on a couple of occasions chasing a crotch rocket and a fancy Ferrari on the highway (this was when I was much younger and stupid). I had some larger than life plans for...

I'm curious if some engines are just tanks especially from the 1990s and 2000's era. My last car was a 2003 Toyota Celica with the noteworthy Yamaha motor (2ZZ-GE 1.8L; same motor used in the old Lotus Elise). I only used regular oil and did the changes every 8,000 km using FRAM oil filters. No...
