Seeking Advice for Check Engine Light and Performance Issues in 2022 Mazda MX5

Hey there. I feel your pain, I've been there. I own a 2019 Mazda CX-5 which gave me similar headaches a while back. The symptoms were almost identical - engine jerking, struggling to start, power loss. Turned out the fuel pump was okay, but the software values for it were off. The check engine light, it seems, had a reason to shine after all. Didn't even know that could be an issue until I landed at my local garage. The blokes there had to adjust these bad boys' settings and reset the engine control module. And it wasn't even a major issue, more like an infamous hiccough with Mazda engines around these makeup years. The good news? My ride's been smooth sailing since. So, before anything, get your car's computer scanned, especially noting any error codes relating to the fuel system. If they pick up something similar, then you might be facing the same bug. Don't lose sleep over it, a bit of software finetuning can work wonders. Good Luck!

Hey there, appreciate you sharing your experience literally sounds like the same issues playing up with my MX5 right now, that's a relief in a weird way. Just the idea of not having to replace the whole fuel pump feels like a weight off my shoulders. Hey, do you remember what sort of dollars you had to drop for that software tweak and engine control module reset? Also, any other problem with your Mazda since that? Multiply your good vibes!

Yo! Totally get where you're coming from, the prospect of shelling out for a new fuel pump is no joke. Thankfully, when I had my Mazda's software values for the fuel pump sorted out, it only ended up costing me 45 quid. A proper bargain if you ask me, considering it fixed the issues. And hey, since taking my ride to the mechanic for that adjustment, the fuel pump defect issues have been nixed. It's been smooth sailing - or should I say, smooth driving! So, if you're worried about long-term complications, in my experience, that hasn't been the case. Here's hoping your MX5 will be back to its stellar self in no time. Keep your chin up!

Incredible! My bank account breathes a sigh of relief hearing that price. So glad to hear you've had zero issues since getting that sorted. you've no idea how much this has put my mind at ease. I'll definitely be getting that comp scan soon. Fingers crossed, it's a similar deal with my ride. Really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience! You've been a huge help. Cheers!
