Nothing.
Remove the system and plug the vaccuum nipple on the manifold. Mazda issued a TSB to all it's dealers with instructions to do so.
The system is useless, and most of them never worked. The fact that yours actually seems to function is rather shocking.

I'm not sure the exact year. Someone who pays attention to these things (like Icemark
) would know.
The cold start unit does nothing really. It can be removed no matter what you car you drive.
