ok. Car is acting up. Real bad idle. Throttle responce is horrible. Tried seafoam. Checked plugs. Any decent rotary mechanic's around that is good. Just started a new job and don't have the to time right now to trouble shoot it myself

shias2 - i had that same problem two weeks ago. Since the check engine light was on I had it hooked up to a computer. It said cylinder misfire or something like it. The mechanic suggested changing plugs. $160 for all 4, replaced them myself, no change. 2 days later the car straight up died on me. Had to get a tow from here to Savannah Mazda. They told me the same "misfire" suggested new coils and wires. so they changed those out at $640. Then they conducted a compression test. i guess if the compression test fails then Mazda will replace your engine for free, warranty or not. So right now I'm waiting for a new engine.

Crap!! I changed coils, plugs and wires about 2 months ago. Might try seafoam ad see if its lots if carbon buildup. If not that then might have to get a compression test. I have been drivig the he'll out of it. HARD!! Seems to help a little bit so im hopeing its carbon. Let me know how the engine turns out.

Guys, sorry we havent checked in in a while. Things have been crazy here lately!
Shiast, Mine did the same thing, dealer changed the coils plugs & wires, no change so they de-carboned it. Runs like a charm now.
Josh and I are up for a meet this weekend. I think he has a 4day. Saturday possibly?
