so a few days ago my boyfriend was driving my car and when we were stopped at a red light, he let up from the brake a little and there was this banging noise and he said something was wrong but i let it go.. then today, i drove it and accelerated off and the car wasn't as loud as usual (it's stock)? and so i tried braking again at a light and letting up off the brake slowly and it was hardcore banging, haha.. i'm really pissed. now that my attention is drawn to it.. also when i drive on a straight rode, i hear it bang to. it's bad. not loud but boy it's annoying. really.. help.. idk if the engine is either flooded, my ecu needs to be reset or a transmission problem but if this has ever happened to you, please let me know! thanks!

Well... I wouldn't say that you 8 is flooded because then the engine wouldn't be running. Judging by you saying that you let up on the brake from a stop tells me that you drive an Automatic, correct? Usually manual drivers let up on the clutch.
I doubt that an ECU reset will help, but you can try. Possibly a transmission problem, but will need to know more to help narrow it down.
Do you receive a CEL at this time? (CEL = Check Engine Light)
Best bet also is to take it to the dealer. Sorry couldn't be much help!

 

haha you dont even want to know the problem.. ughh, in my tires the pressure was messed up, bad. one tire had 60, the other had 15 and the other two had 50. and it's supposed to be 32. uttttt-ohhh haha. i madeee a mistakeee :o( i prob. look stupid, haha but i had nooo ideaaa. mannn. well i wasnt charged at Mazda :o) haha.. thanks for the help though

ps. the CEL light was NOT on :o\

 

WOW... that is crazy!
Glad to hear that everything is OK now.
