it is a manual transmission and i dont think they have been changed unless it was done on the recall i bought the car a year ago in florida. i appreciate all the imput ill ask them to check that tommorrow. and see if they can do a compression test just to make sure

If it turns out to be your coils and plugs you might want to think about upgrading to this: https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-major-horsepower-upgrades-93/mazsport-ignition-solution-134081/
