I need ideas as to a strange problem I (had)?
I started noticing hesitation at 7-8k for the past few days. Car has 18k miles. A red line 1st gear shift would yield a 2nd gear that was weak to start and felt like I was missing 50 horse. A redline 1st shift will normally yield tires barking when 2nd engages, but not anymore. When idling, a redline rev produces the same effect as a 9.5k fuel cut off, only now its happening at 8k. So, coils, plugs, MAF maybe hmm. P0300 cel comes on, random misfire. Ok goto mazda. Cables all fine. We test BHR coils, they are fine. We decide the plugs are going out, and I make an appt next week to do 20k mainteneance check and replace plugs.
Today on way home from work I go WOT in 1st with no hesitation, and the tires are burning rubber on the shift. Whoa, I got my power back. I repeat several times and the problem is now gone. I cleared the cel and its not coming back on. Strange to me. Any ideas?

Yes temps were the same. I usually always fill up with BP premium. But the last time I filled up (right before this incident) I went to shell and filled up. Maybe it was the gas!
