It won't do anything now , but it would just slow down and since it's a automatic it would down shift for more power and nothing would happen. I had to pull over and try starting it again. Then I was looking for a shop and it won't start. It turns over but won't start

Any other symptoms? Loss of power is a big one and could be a sign the motor is done but need more details. Up to date on maintenance? I hope you have all your records.

you could get it all fixed up, hopefully for free, then trade it in. it'll be worth more with a new motor anyway

(sneaks into NW thread)

bignatex: I'm leaning towards your coils getting toasted while you were out here. Our OEM coils are problematic and also prone to failure in extreme heat.
that could easily explain your loss of power and problem starting.

get it towed to a mazda dealership, not just some normal shop because they won't know how to diagnose the coils and will tell you something retarded like the valves are stuck or your engine head is broken.
