5 weeks since our trib went in to the dealer for
the stalling prob.Thet have replaced the throttle
body for the sticking pedal prob. and they are
wondering if this has something to do with the
stalling.they have gone over the check list that mazda wants
them to do and now are just waiting for the company to
release the trib. As far as the heater/ac controls go if
you leave the temp low and put the setting on defrost
or defrost/floor blend the a/c is still working and
you will get cold air on the floor.The recirc.setting
will work for heat as well.
