Hey Guys,
Sort of new around here as I havent had the car long and as you can see havent posted much.. but I will now...
Anyway, I got a MS3 and all I have done is installed a Injen intake on the car, I have had the recalls done on the vehicle. What I have been getting is a fuel cut off when Im at WOT over 3000 RPM... (1 out of every 6 times) it is terrible as you can imagine. I got an engine light and took it to the dealer and $100 later (not going back to that dealer) they told me it a Mass Air flow sensor, but because I put the intake on car it voids the warranty.. They said put it back to stock and bring it back....
Anybody had this problem? Any info would be great...
Thanks...

Not sure how the wires are on the MS3, but make sure there's enough slack on the wires connecting to the MAF.

so what you are saying is that is a problem with the car... and if I put it back to stock I will get the same problem..
See I put the CAI on after about 1000km of driving and only have 6 on it now.... so it might have happened, but I never really got into it, when I first got it...
hey, Makeit. MPS is really good on mod, and easy going guy as well, always been a friend at the end. lol.... good luck with ur CEL.
yes even you take off ur CAI you will still get fuel cuts

so I guess it is fuel cut off.. and a lot of people are getting this, I am learning...
What ever you do I guess is just to cure this problem, any other advantages.. and is it permanent fix...

if u still under warranty, put ur stock back and let dealer do it. if not, thats the cure upstair.

I really dont want to spent $250 on a something I didn't cause... but I really don't want to pull the front bumper off again to put the stock intake in.. I will never put it back in... I know it!
this car is starting to disappointment me..

is that speed3? u don't need to pull bumper out for that. Regular3 does.
even if you take the CAI off chances are dealer won't find ur problem
and send you on ur way home
read that CPE fix this may work but will give problems in the long run
it just kills the MAF and after some time the engine lite comes on
if you want to try the CPE way ur welcome to do that
if not come see me and ill have this taken care of with in 3 hours
if you dont pull the bumper how are you going to get the filter you ?
unless you got a hoist

I read it.. it sounds like the same thing.. but I really don't want to do it.. Does the dealer have a fix..?
Not that I don't want MPS to fix it (thanks for all your input MPS).. I just can think of a ton of other things I can do with $250

thats why i use SRI. lol... my bad, i thought speed doesn't need to pull bumper off.:blush

well its harder to access but thats not to say the cai is the problem, my ms cai has never had a problem and if it did it is warranty approved so its mazda problem for any lights etc. :chuckle
dealer knows nothing about this
only reason i know its cuse im forced to work on my own car

MPS = Vlad...
Hey Man, did you change your name....
Anyway, I don't want to do to be honest... I guess I have to come and see you to get this done.. there goes the exhaust money...
well its exhaust or fuel cut that will lead to other problems
"code P2006 intake manifold runner control piece not opening up enough. Causing not enough air to get into the motor and the ecu is noticing that there is not enough air causing the CEL, finaly cause fule cut. They had to enlarge the holes so it opened up more and cleared fault and no more problems to speak of at this point." just found somewhere. may help.:loco

The car only have 6k and and I got it in September.. Put the stocker back in or the Mazdaspeed CAI (that is to have warranty included) and go from there....

Anybody have a contact at a dealer or tech that will test the car with the Injen to repair it.. without having to take the unit off.... Im in the industry, but I don't work for Mazda, and never had a problem with my Miata for the 4 years I had with adding boost..
That is why this car is just buggin me so much
and for the last time thats not it :)
