misfires are common. Car runs pig rich.
Clean MAF and replace plugs.

Bring it to redline more often.

Find an old dog or have your dad help you.

Old dogs know cars from back in da day else go to local club meet.

There is a DIY for it.

Very simple to do. Best is to have an experience dog show you.

If its too complicated for you that's ok.

not everyone can be a mechanic.

worst case is you over tighten it or the plug breaks off when you try to back it out.

both can be costly.

so yea find someone who knows how to do it.

What year is it? How many miles? If you're getting a misfire code and you already replaced plugs and wires then theres nothing else but the coils to replace. Also, you should get a compression check done just in case. If you're under 100,000 miles then your engine has a Mazda warranty on it if the compression is low.

Make sure they give you the complete readings on the compression test. The engine needs to be hot and you should get 3 readings per rotor at around 250 RPM. The three readings are for each face of the rotor. Hope it works out!
