bad news maybe?
well the last two days my exhaust was sounding marbles in the can sort of , sounded really distorted when bringing up to high rpms.. I felt i had no power at all even with half way or flooring.So i thought maybe it was the heat. Anyway all unsudden im pulling into sonic and the car dies and wont crank..
Waited until some of my friends to arrive to help me out.. We rolled it back and then it started, but had unsual sounds and a real hard idle. Its running better now.
You guys have said this is has happened before and then down the line a new engine was needed. about 2 weeks ago i had it serviced at mazda and they gave me the new flash update. Could this possibly be it or im outta my mind and dont want to admit my engine is going out?

Well based on what I've heard I would say its most likely part of your exhaust, not the motor. If you'd blown a seal, you'd be seeing smoke and a lot of it. Also, from your footnote, you'd have 3rd part exhaust parts fitted. Could be the cat, but I'd bet it is a muffler. Some baffle has come loose and that screws the flow of the exhaust air and will tend to kill the car. Can you lie under car a bit and knock on muffler(s) see if anything inside sounds loose/rattley?

Another guy with the same problem and Mazda technicians not figuring it out.
Try searching for "marble" or something.
