Make sure the dealer gives you the latest PCM update. Mine did the same thing and the upgrade didn't fix it 100% but it was harder for me to duplicate it after that. Yes, I was at the point where I could duplicate it very easily.

A big success! I got PCM update yesterday for our 2006 5 Touring 5MT (built Aug 2005 if I recall correctly). To my surprise and delight, the change in throttle response is noticeable all the time; when you crack open the throttle the first 25%, it now provides noticeably more torque. It feels distinctly peppier in ordinary driving. Both during warm-up, and warmed-up. (it was about 60deg F yesterday here.) It's hard to prove yet that it won't ever do the ~once-a-month severe hiccup now, but I am very happy with the update regardless.

Can anyone tell me how to replace the cabin filter. My Honda has it behind the glove box and is an easy change. Many thanks.

Oddly enough, there's no Mazda dealer in West Los Angeles who does repairs or maintenance. Can anyone recommend an alternative in the area?
thanks

3. remove the under cover
4. disconnect the evaporator temperature sensor connector
5. disconnect the power MOS FET connector (Full-auto air conditioner)

Thanks athenasius, but I want to know how to change the cabin pollen filter, not the air filter.

no problem 'evped'. but i guess you missed the comment 'now the inside car' the battery disconnect is always for precaution. the lower cover in the lower cover where you gas peddle foot would touch. let me know. the cover in '6.' is the cover that is holding in the pollen filter. there seems to be one screw. the cover seems to be up and down(vert).

I still can't find the filter. I took off the panel next to the gas pedal and ran into a dead end. Any other help would be appreciated. I also cannot find anything in the owner's amnual about it.

I have the factory shop manual, but have never done it myself. It says on page 07-11-13 to 1) remove battery cover 2) disconnect neg cable 3) remove under cover 4) disconnect evaporator temp sensor connector 5) remover MOS FET connector (if climate control version) 6) remove filter cover 7) remove lower half of filter 8) remove upper half of filter 9) install in reverse order. Good luck!
