Did you contact the dealer on the issue?
Well i got the reflash today. The guy said that it wasnt to fix this specific issue though. He said it was a general reflash of the pcm from mazda that 'may' fix it. But i guess it fixes something. I wish there was a list of what it addresses. We'll see how it goes. But for anyone going in for any service you might as well ask for the most recent reflash no matter what you are there for.
Very snowy and blizzardy day here though. Got a much needed wash from mazda and some time in the snow. Was leaving everyone spinning at the stop lights with the cx5 and winter tires.

I'm up to my 4th relatively minor incident of this kind in 11K miles, cool morning around 50 degrees F. Lasted a couple seconds this time, with what sounded like a single backfire.
Codyzoom-Thanks for report, sound like no reflash by your dealer service.
I'll wait 'til my next oil change and mention it then (and see if they do reflash).
It's no big deal (only happened 4 times). I never drive off until the 30 second cold engine drill subsides.

When it happens has the car been sitting for longer than when it does not happen?
No.

First step: Download error codes from OBD port
This was done immediately. The result is the error exists.
Does not help and the change of gas stations, as well as fuels 95 or 98.
This behavior is observed only at temperatures of zero and below.
CX-5 car owners in Russia don't know that already do.
We have winter temperatures are very low and the car runs frequently from the second, third, fourth, fifth time. The computer does not fix the errors, deviations from the official supplier of computer software were found.
Might you have any suggestions to solve the problem?
What were the error codes?
Me too, so far. And it has been getting down into the -20s C lately. But it was sporadic so I'm not gonna count it fixed for a while yet. I'm told the reflash isn't specifically for this issue, but that it 'may' address it.
No error, I just do not properly written, sorry do not know much English.
