After complaining for the past 30-35,000 miles about power loss issues when the engine gets hot, FINALLY someone listened! I don't know how many service centers I went through, complained about the same thing and all they did was nickel and dime me to death with these stupid little things, sensors, shutter valves, carbon cleaning, etc.
Also, that "noise" from underneath that everyone and their brother has been saying for the past 5 years is "normal"....come to find out, really isn't normal. I knew it wasn't, but who am i, I'm only the dude that's been driving it all these years, what do I know?
Well, good for me, there is hope and I think I see light at the end of the tunnel from all these issues, of severe power loss, stalling in the middle of traffic, not wanting to start once stalled out, the incessant rattling of "something" associated with the power loss at high rpm's.
All on Mazda's dime this time! Apparently, Mazda is just going ahead with changing the engines on '04's as they roll in with these issues. It'll be 'almost' like a new car again....or so I hope!
