Mazda P5 Fast idle cold
Here, I'm trying to economize on fuel, and the P5 runs a very fast idle
in the first few miles. Is there any fix for this? Can the computer program be modified to change the idle? I really miss the screwdriver adjustments of days gone by. Angelo Campanella |

I really miss the screwdriver > adjustments of days gone by. #1. No, you can't change the fast idle on a modern car. #2. Do you really think the fast idle costs *that* much in fuel? #3. Do you think your car would be driveable for those first couple of minutes without a cold-start/fast-idle? My '02 SE kicks out of fast idle within one mile. It's Not A Problem. Dana |

No, but if your temp gauge doesn't jump up to "normal" after 1 mile then either it's incredibly cold weather or you could use a new thermostat. These gauges are notoriously non-linear, hence the apparently rapid warm-up. |
