#68 of 89 Re: 2008 CX-9 GT - Check Engine Light? [ceric] by tammye Aug 05, 2008 (9:31 am)
Replying to: ceric (Aug 05, 2008 9:24 am) It is at a Mazda/Hyundai dealership. They have reported to me that they have checked all the codes and can not figure it out. I was just wandering if anyone else with this model has had a problem. I have found out the CX-7 has had this problem. I'm wandering if it could be the same thing on the CX-9. Thanks.

Replying to: claireb (Jul 30, 2008 8:49 am) Well, we decided to take it to the dealer we bought it from and they fixed it straight away.   My husband is very impressed with the service we were given - they even cleaned the car! Not that it was dirty, but it was a nice touch! Replies to this message: tidester (May 14, 2009 9:25 pm)

Replying to: cry1ray (May 14, 2009 9:01 pm) Regular 87 octane is what is needed for the our MZI 3.7L engine. Going upward will not gain anything since the compression ratio of 10.3 is not that high for the engine to benefit from higher octane.   Synthetic oil may help a tiny bit on the MPG, and can prolong the oil change interval up to 15,000 miles (i.e. 3X longer). It also helps reduce wear on cold starts. However, the oil is nearly 3X as expensive. You might also void your warranty if you decide to change your oil at 15,000 interval should anything bad happen to your engine. My advice is that do synthetic after the OE powertrain warranty runs out. After that, do whatever you want (synthetic or not). It is a matter of trade-off.
#73 of 89 Car won't start by staggs May 21, 2009 (6:15 am)
I turned off my 2007 CX9 while in gear last night. Realizing this I put it in park. When I went to restart it approximately 5 minutes later it would not start. Battery is fine, fuses are all good, don't know what to do next. Replies to this message: eua (May 21, 2009 7:21 am) ceric (May 21, 2009 9:03 am) ceric (May 21, 2009 9:05 am)

Replying to: staggs (May 21, 2009 6:15 am) I do the same by mistake time to time on my both cars and do not have any problems. I think your problem is something else. Call your dealer and let them fix it. Do not say anything about what you did before. They can be very mean and blame you that everything is only your fault and try to make you look stupid. Let them investigate the problem on their own. I really do not think that switching gear on not moving car with engine off can hurt.

Replying to: staggs (May 21, 2009 6:15 am) "would not start" needs more clarification. If there is no cranking, I am betting that the interlock is somehow at fault. The system prevent one from starting engine at any gear other than P. That is obviously for safety reason. Yours somehow may be broken. Therefore, the system still think it is NOT in P position. Just my guess.

Just my guess.   Suggestion, try this... - step on the brake - shift in/out of Park a few times to all positions - shift back to Park - start engine   If not helping, visit dealer.

#77 of 89 Where to find workshop manual by lockloop Jun 27, 2009 (9:44 am)
Hi,   I purchased a 2008 CX9. I like to tinker with the repairs myself. I wanted to purchase the workshop manual.   But I had been trying to buy the workshop manual for 6 months now. It is driving me crazy.   I called three local dealerships. Six months ago, they said to came over to their parts department. When I went, they said they don't have it and will try to get it for me. They never did.   Now, they say I can get it from mazdausa.com. But I can't find it in mazdausa.com.   From the following link: http://www.mazdausa.com/MusaWeb/displayPage.action?pageParameter=contactCustomer- #9   It said "How do get an owner's manual, wiring diagram and/or workshop manual?   Please contact your nearest authorized Mazda dealership and speak with the Parts Department. They will be more than willing to assist you."   This is the manual mechanics in Mazda dealership use. Clearly it exists and is for sale. But somehow, I am not able to find it.   Anybody know how to get it?   ps. If anybody know of repair manuals made by third party companies, let me know also.
