I had a very similar problem, except my CEL was on when it ran rough, then would go off when it warmed up. Took it to byers and they managed to fix it. I believe the main issue was a bad coilpack. First time I got it back they fixed that problem but I then had dead spot in the powerband. Its run perfect once they fixed it the 2nd time.

Also, mazda direct was out by easton, its just toyota direct now, and apparently they can't work on rotary engines (sold their tools? lol) which is probably for the best.

Indeed, saw you drive down summit sunday while I was at my friends house for a cookout. At least I'm guessing there aren't too many black/black 8's roaming summit station, so it was probably you.

My car was hiding behind the woods from the direction you came tho so you wouldn't have seen it.

I live in Powell too. Am always up for wasting gas with purpose or even just wasting gas. Let's meet up sometime between rain showers. I know several very cool roads along the Scioto River to the north that are fantastic for spirited driving.

If you PM me it goes straight to my blackberry.

Will do man that sounds like a blast! I've always been a big fan of Perry and Taggart Roads down by the olentangy river so maybe we can hit those up too.
