    first, is there any type of update on this exhaust thing? you told me you would keep me in the loop and that hasn't been the case so far..if you don't want to do it, just let me know..i'm starting to feel like i'm hounding you..

     

    second, ok i've refrained from giving my opinion but i might as well...after all we're all "family" right?

    steve, why do you care so much about what everyone is saying? if you've done your research and you feel getting a new car is the better option for you, then why not do it?? obviously it makes more sense to keep the car you have over taking on a car payment, but if you honestly feel like you're at a point where you're dumping too much money into it, then let it go..(i say that b/c i don't know your history of problems)

     

    have you tried getting a second opinion?

    Yeah I was thinking the same thing..in terms of the dealership just reading whatever code popped up..I'll have to take another look tomorrow and try your recommendation for cleaning off the rotor..I was mad about this light before, but now I'm gettin pissed..

    i took saint's advise and bought a used front right sensor..like you guys were saying, changing it was very straight forward BUT the "new" sensor did not stop the light from coming on...

     

    so now it's looking like it may be the rotor...although from what I looked ia, it looked fine to me..contemplating my next step while looking over the abs/tcs troubleshooting guide MTS provided..

    Yeah the more I thought about it, the more I realized Mazda was trying to rape me. Matt did in fact point out a much cheaper place to get the sensors at $150..thank you for that. I'll be buying it from there...

     

    I wanna look at it myself but I haven't had time with work and running around..at this point I'm debating just buying a whole new axle as opposed to just that abs rotor..if I'm not mistaken parts.com had it for like $95

    You can also ohm it, but it sounds like it might be intermittent, so it could still test fine. The connectors are on the 4 corners of the car, under the hood by the fuse box, over by the passenger strut tower, and in the trunk behind the trunk liner on either side. It will be 2 wires, probably black and white. Disconnect it and measure the resistance of the end that goes to the wheel. The manual says 1.6-2.0 kohm, but all the ones I have tested on 3 different Millenias were all around 1.4 kohms and were good sensors. So as long as its in that range it should be ok. I have a feeling it has to be the rotor or the sensor, and the rotor is very unlikely. I wouldn't let them do the job, but if you do, at least take off the $120 brake bleeding.

    got the car back...the report shows that it is in fact the right front wheel speed sensor as well as the right front axle ring..i'll have to do my own inspection tomorrow after work since it's dark out now..i miss daylight savings right about now..
