1)get a trusted mechanic .... if u dont know any go to mazda
2)it could be an easy fix like an 02 sensor, how many miles and what year

No one here can help you until you get that code read. Buy a code reader or go to a local shop and get it done. I know that here in Canada some Part Source places do it for free
