bad news maybe?

i was reading your signature and noticed what you added to your car. I think it could be some sensors like the oxygen sensors or your mass air flow sensor. Anyways, maybe your car is bogging due to one of those sensors going bad. I just had to replace two oxygen sensors (one by the intake manifold and the other by the cat) and the MAS (mass airflow sensor inbetween the intake piping).
That's just what happened to me tho. Just make sure you don't pay too much to get your car analyzed.

There have been people that have said they heard this sound when they put 87 in there. Not saying that some people don't hear it when they put it in, or that their car doesn't run perfectly fine. But i'd rather exhaust most of the things i could try before having to really take it to mazda and get upset with them when they say again there's nothing that they can find wrong.
