    Has anyone done the reflash? And is this only happening on the '04 models? If you haven't had it reflashed, you need to do that. It sounds like it's staying stuck partially in open loop mode. Has any of ya'll had the MIL light come on for a P0420 or anything related to the catalyst effeciency?

    K series 626. That's right. It's got a K in it.

    Unless you know anyone who has a reprogrammer, you'll have to go to the dealer

    You are wrong, you have no clue what you are talking about, and that is from the 2 certified Mazda techs getting drunk with me right now. The internet is not the gospel.

    Ok then, I'm a former Mazda tech as well. But I was there when the first RX8's were coming to the dealer, and I was the one looking at them. So instead of rediculing me, let's come up with some solutions. Hell, why don't you sober up those Mazda techs and get some answers out of them.
