if you're under warranty they shouldn't be charging you anything. This is covered by the factory.

What is your build date? From my reading of the TSB, it appears as though your dealer should always replace the fuel pump if the car was built before 4/7/2007 and the fuel pump's manufacture date was before 3/26/2007.

For cars with the older fuel pump, I'm worried that an ECU flash without the fuel pump upgrade is going to cause problems...

So what if your Car was built on 4/7/2007 like mine? do I get the reflash and a fuelpump swap?

just flash I think

Even if your outside the warranty you should be covered. I got 40k miles and they at least did the reflash.... I do have the extended till 100k but they did ask if i had warranty.

Mine's in for the appointment. I asked exactly what they were going to do and they said they would do the reflash and see if it also needed the pump replaced. We'll see what happens...

Question??can this reflash be done at any mazda dealership,even a non speed dealer..??just try not have to drive too far for i have a non speed dealer closer to me..

 

[Shane5425]

mine was done at a non speed dealer, but i know the techs..

NO it does not matter. They all have alteast one laptop. You just plug it in and run the vin and poof there you go. Just make sure to ask when the laptop was last updated via the Mazda network. Make sure they updated it since April 2nd.

Anyone have it done yet? What are your impressions?

I just made an appointment online...waiting to hear back...
I hope I don't screw up my car...its running great!!! But more power is always welcomed.

Just got a call from the Mazda dealership. They've done the flash but based on my build date, it didn't need the new pump.

Picking it up later today, I'll let you guys know.

 

[knowledge007]

Pump is being installed today as we speak. Hopefully get the car back later today or tomorrow.

ECU reflash done. Car pulls so damn hard now, I'm running an 8 second quarter mile. Unfortunately I left the slip in my other pants.

Car doesn't seem any different yet. I'll keep you guys updated.

i did the reflash today, got about 3 miles down the road and threw a CEL, P2801 (or something like that ) running lean at idle speeds. went back and cleared it. Drove about 20 more miles and threw it again. gotta check my connections on my FMIC and vac lines and see if its an error on my end. other than that, i'm pretty happy with the performance (what little is noticable)
