Car specifics: 2006 6speed AT

Significant mods: Gutted Supercat, RB Intake and moroso ignition wires

Background info: 61k on the tac. Same transmission fluid, same coils packs, sparkplugs n' wires were changed out at 35k, coolant slightly low, No leaking fluids, Synthetic oil, 50k service not done, haven't read the CEL code nor have i done a compression test.


Ok, so i noticed a slight power loss a couple of days ago - i thought it was just my butt dyno. I noticed the sound from the front of the car didn't sound quite as loud n' the acceleration was slightly lacking.

Fast forward to today (3 days) i come around a corner at a moderate pace. I redline in first in manual mode - then i tap it into 2nd n' suddenly a loud pop. The engine begins to bubble down n' i can't hold a steady rev. THe car slowly decreases speed until it finally dies. Before it bogged down i noticed i could still shift gears but the rev kept falling. (i don't think it's the transmission)

Now the car won't turn on. It's turning but won't completely turn on. The alternator seems ok - no vacuum leaks, no leaking fluid, no smoke.

Only lights on are the powersteering, CEL, battery light n' coolant. The CEL n' Coolant light were on before the incident.


Questions:

*Do i have a blown engine?

I don't have any invoicing from my servicing because i did them myself n' never kept the receipts.

*What are the odds of mazda replacing my engine with this information?


*If it is blown - should i swap the oil to conventional for when i take it back to mazda or do you think they would check?

any insight would be appreciated

 

Quick check
Remove the trailing plug from one rotor and turn over the engine . Listen to whether the pulses are even or not . Then do with other rotor .

If you hear good strong pulses from all chambers - chances are your engine is still good and something else is wrong .

Also ........... Atilla has an AT !!!! ................WTF ?
