need some helpt took it to the dealership the dealer said i needed a new engine!!!! they didint do a compression check on it either. The said that the warranty on my car has been branded because a previous owner did not give the car proper maintanance and did not show he had given it a oil change in the past 10k miles. The check engine light signaled a code :P0172 but they didint exactly tell me the reason the car stalled they just told me I needed a new engine and it wasnt under warranty. There is this guy in town that worked at the mazda dealerships for 25 years and is a expert with rotary engines , I was advised by a friend to take the car there. The guy told me that he has never heard a mazda dealership dispose a car without even giving it a compression check and said that probably the problem is not too bad. He also mentioned that I should contact mazda support and make a claim stating that they didint have enough reason to put a black flag on my power trains warranty.
