    still no data from new o2 sensor

    my 2008 mazda 5 threw a p2177 - "System Too Lean Off Idle Bank 1" couple weeks ago. The Torque app (android app that reads from the bluetooth odb2 reader) also shows there's no data from b1s1. Ordered a denso sensor (same as the old. 5 wires: grey, black, white, yellow, blue ) and installed...

    are M5 and M3 TCM(transm Control Module) compatible?

    pulled the TCM from my 08 Mazda 5, wanted to get a used one from ebay, seems there're a lot more TCM for M3 than for M5. wondering if they're compatible. I think the two models have the same engine/AT ? my TCM is L39C 18 9E1B I think the M3 TCM starts with L34T 18 9 *

    mazda 5 atf change

    did a drain and fill today. it was pretty straight forward. remove bottom plastic guard, remove hex bolt, drain and fill. only gotcha is that I dumped the new fluid too fast and it overspilled a little. the new fluid still looks kind of dark (after about 20 min of driving) while not nearly as...
