Mazda Issues Stop Sale on MS3 CAI

[tunersteve]

Can one of the dealers e-mail them ASAP to find out the reasoning. I've heard its for one of two things: hydrolock issues or emissions testing. Can anyone confirm that?

tunersteve if you want that intake i have ONE i was able to snag from my dealership. parts manager was told not to sell it to me and he told mazda NA to "go f**k yourself" while i was there.

spoke with the master tech at my local dealership. word from the regional reps is that the intake would, depending on what else was on the car and what climate it was in, would run a lean off-idle code or hesitate. i've probably sold more of these intakes than anyone and the majority of them have not caused any problems (or customers don't tell me about them).

I have one of the "custom" CAIs that was assembled from Spectre components. I've been throwing the "lean at idle" code for months now when the weather is cold, but no hesitation whatsoever. What redspeed (who originally did this) said is that the ID of this intake is 3" vs the stock 2.75", thus the code. I'm getting the adapter soon and it should resolve the problem.

Just my $0.02.

ive had my ms cai for about 12k miles now....never any problems at all. I think it has to do with carb cert. for the 08's

 

[GhostMercury]

well hopefully they redesign because i REALLy want one for my ms3

 

[tubebrner]

Damn, I bought one slightly used on here a few months ago but I still haven't put it on because its f**king cold. I was going to put it on next weekend. Now I don't know what to do. Hurry up and tell us what's up Maaaazda

 

[tunersteve]

Anyone have any more info on this?

 

[TheMAN]

dude, chill out
either me, zoomzone, or ken will have info as it becomes available
I checked for new TSBs and recalls at least once a week and now I will check the parts flashes as well

 

[Captain KRM P5]

i spoke with the techs again and they affirm it is because of random cars throwing "lean off idle" codes under certain conditions, ie - cold weather. i do not think mazda is going to void the warranty of anyone who has bought these intakes prior to the 'stop sale' order nor do i think they will leave any of thier customers high and dry.

I appreciate the help, but you could really do without the attitude.

i spoke to my regional rep today and he is confident the intakes will be back on the market. expect an ECU reflash to accompany it though. this could all change mind you, but this is the gist of it i heard today.

A reflash...? In terms of making the car run richer?
Hmm (scratch), this wouldn't be a MPS (Australia) type reflash? (huh)

Hey Ken or anyone else, are these coming in as CEL's? Or some pre yada yada code that doesn't show up as a CEL, that someone mentioned earlier in this thread? I'm in Ontario and it's been in the minus' since I purchased the car in late December with the MS CAI. I have had no problems to speak of, no CEL's, no stuttering, fuel cut off etc. "Knocks on wood" I was thinking of going with the COBB Intake when I get my CPE DP in a few weeks, because of all this hype with hydrolock, splashes of water getting on the filter, maf damage (corrosion). I don't want to start s*** haha, but opinions? Stay with MS or go Cobb?

Hmmm...might be a little harder to sell the MS CAI than I originally thought.

this would be totally sweet but hopefully the reflash doesn;t take away from any of the gains. But as long as they put the intakes back on the market
