What have you done to your P5 today?

Yeah, 67,000 miles and no warranty. I also checked way back when and mine didn't get a recall notice............
 
Talk to your dealership. If they're any good, they'll take care of you anyway. I've read on here of ppl who weren't specifically in warranty / in the recall range, but got it fixed anyway. If not, call and / or write a letter to Mazda NA, and they should be able to put some pressure on the service dept.
 
Well, got some minor good news. I think it spit out the screw. I regapped the plugs and put them back in. Fired it up real quick and I got no pinging going on and the smooth idle is back. I am going to talk to the dealer tomorrow and see what they tell me. If all else fails, my brother in law has a scope at work and check it out for me too. I would like the dealer to just take care of it but, I don't know how much faith I have in them to do the right thing. I am in the process of taking off the exhaust mani right now to see if there is a screw in the precat screen. I am crossing my fingers that the cylinder and exhaust valve isn't fubared......
 
yeah, I'd take it to Mazda and see first. Have them scope it and do a compression test on that cylinder. Also, other screws may be about to come out, so you they need to install the repair kit / whole new manifold. Also, if you fail the compression test, they need to repair the whole engine. Like I said, if they don't treat you right, take it to another dealer if there is 1 around, and if you still can't get this straightened, start getting Mazda NA to put pressure on the dealer
 
The bad thing is that I have a second intake mani with the VTCS removed and the VICS lock tited and ready to go on the car. Just haven't got around to tearing into it yet and installing............
 
hehe, yeah. I'd get this taken care of before I do that (at least you know you have a good motor to put it on). And obviously, don't mention that little tid bit to your service dept lol
