Idle Issues
- Thread starter 1sty
- Start date
Well as promised before as soon as I know something new I will let you know. My car goes in this Friday when I leave town and when I get back they will either have it completely fixed or have a check waiting for me. BTW it has gotten progressively worse. I sit at a light and can see my headlights dim and brighten as my idle goes up and down. Will post after I get back.

I don't think I sent you the pages about the DTC 1504. I only sent you the part about IAC verification.
There's 4 pages about the DTC 1504. Anyway if you go to the dealer tomorow, they have the manual. There's no need for me to scan those 4 pages. But if you realy need it just let me know.

Well they found the problem. The ECU is F-D!
It is not showing ground for the IAC valves ground wire. aparently ground should be passed through the ECU and it is not doing so.
They have a new ECu onorder but want me to pa them $150 for the time it took to "rule out" the turbo system. I basicly refused this. We left it as we will see shen the ECU gets in since they said they can't go anty futher since it could still be the turbo.
There was alot more said but this is the simple version.

The ECU is actualy $1300 but they said I owed them $150 since they had to rule out the turbo charge which it couldn't possibly be. Kind of hard for a turbo to nuke a ground pin on an ECU. Bawsicly I am pistive that Mazda set a time limit to find this type of issue and they ran over that so they want to charge me the difference since they can't charge Mazda. I never told him I wouldn't pay it I just said if its under warrenty then I shouldn't be charged unless he can explain why it took longer becuase of the turbo, he could do that.
WOW thats good news....and your dealer seems really cool to even look at your car after the turbo was installed.....hell around here they would just laugh at you if you took a turbo pro in the shop for repairs. Good luck, glad to see ya on track to fixing your idle issues
Well Now I am realy confused!
I just picked up the car and the idle is much better when coming to stops but still will crash on the highway if I hold in the clutch. Another weird one speaking of clutches is the clutch isn't slipping anymore. I tried a few moments of acceleration with no problems.
I can only assume a slipping clutch is worse when its colder outside. When I first noticed it it was only 5 degrees outside and now its almost 25-30.
