    Getting a P0507 on a 60k mile CX-5

    I have searched in this forum about what others with a CX-5 have done if they got a P0507 code. My search turned up zero for the CX-5. My next question, to myself, is does a 2015 CX-5 have a Idle Air Control valve? When I look at sites that sell genuine Mazda parts, they show one for about $150...

    2015 CX-5 Rear Brake Piston Question: How Does It Work?

    To clear something up, I removed the clip-on plate to get the caliper on, then drove around the neighborhood. I reinstalled the clip-on plate on the inner and outer pads then everything went on like it has when I did a Mazda6 and a 2007 Accord. I've looked in to this as much as I can and I...

    2015 CX-5 Rear Brake Piston Question: How Does It Work?

    Mine is a 2015 CX-5, the last year with a pull handle parking brake. Any thoughts on the theory behind that device? How come you have to screw it in, yet when you are done, you can just press on the brake pedal and it comes straight out? I'm trying to figure out why when I screw the piston in, I...

    2015 CX-5 Rear Brake Piston Question: How Does It Work?

    I recently did a rear brake pad, rotor replacement. When I "screwed" the parking brake piston in, at some point it wouldn't go in any further. I couldn't get the caliper to fit over the pads. I had to take the backing plates off the new pads, install them, assemble everything then drive around...

    Poor Fuel Economy solved!? Maybe

    Consider Top Tier gasoline. https://toptiergas.com/ There is a lot in there, but here is an excerpt. Does TOP TIER™ gasoline help in GDI (Gasoline Direct Injection) engines? Although the technology and mechanical equipment for direct fuel injection...

    A Little More Power? 2015 CX-5

    Is there something I can adjust, turn, push, add to get another 3-5 horsepower? If it would downshift a little better, that would help. I noticed that when I had a 2017 loaner, I didn't have that feeling of needing more power. It seems like with the same displacement, my 184 hp should be...

    Can Anyone Help Me With These Codes?

    I have been having a situation where as I approach where I am going to stop, intermittently, the engine isn't dropping to idle. It will hold at about 1100 rpm, then finally drop to idle. I got a scan tool for Christmas and ran it. The top level of check engine codes showed no codes. There is an...

    Engine Doesn't Idle Down Right Away When Coming To A Stop

    I appreciate the replies. I checked the air filter when I took that assembly off to clean the throttle body. It is fine. I've only used Top Tier gas, so I'm hoping the MAF isn't the problem. I keep the car clean, so the gas pedal isn't being obstructed (I'm retired AND a car guy). I think if the...

    Engine Doesn't Idle Down Right Away When Coming To A Stop

    I have a 2015 CX-5 Grand Touring. Something that has just started happening is occasionally I will stop and I can feel the engine still pulling about 1200 rpm. It will happen 3 or 4 times a day. I cleaned out the throttle body by the butterfly valve and thought it was better, but it isn't. I...

    I'll do that.

    Indicated MPG vs. Real MPG

    I thought I'd share my experience to see if anyone else has noticed this. My indicated MPG was 25.2 this tank. When I did the math (miles divided by number of gallons), it came out to 27.2. Much better. It's not the first time. It's usually not that high, but higher than indicated.

    Left Channel Comes and Goes: Radio?

    Any chance having the Bluetooth module replaced have caused this? Remember, all the connections have been reconnected.

    Left Channel Comes and Goes: Radio?

    I've learned, after taking the radio out and reconnecting the connectors then reinstalling it, it still drops out occasionally. If I give the top of the dash a medium hit, the left channel comes back on. Any thoughts now?

    Left Channel Comes and Goes: Radio?

    My 2015 CX-5 GT's radio seems to be dropping the left channel, then it will work briefly before dropping out again. I tried different stations and played a CD. Same thing. My warranty expired 5 days ago. Any thoughts?
