Mazda has released a flash which "cures" this condition. How To Fix: If the hesitation bothers you to the point where you want to drive your MSP off of a cliff, stop by your dealership before you do so. When the ECU switches modes it is going from lean to rich basically, which will make that hesitating feel." Rich mixtures cause the poor drivability and hesitation. As another member stated: "It is hard to notice an engine that is running lean to a certain point, mostly because it feels very powerful for the most part. The car basically becomes overly rich and "floods" itself. Why: Basically, what happens is that when you hit wide open throttle, the ECU switches to an open loop and dumps a HUGE amount of fuel in the mix. If you've ever done that and noticed that while at full throttle the car seems to bog down like it won't go any faster, then you've just experienced hesitation.
