missing..

ok i have a mazda mx-6 and all of a sudden it is deciding to miss really bad and is starting to lose power. i was thinking that it might be the fuel injectors but i was wanting some advice on what it was! can anyone help?

might be the electrical system.
ie, the spark plugs.

well i had just changed the spark plugs because i thought that was it. and that didnt help any at all

HAVE YOU TRIED CHANGING THE FUEL FILTER?,IF YOU HAVE THEN I WOULD DO ALL YOUR BASICS FIRST WIRES,DIS.CAP,ROTOR.WHEN CHANGING THE PLUGS ONE OF THE CANDLESTICKS I.E WIRES COULD HAVE BEEN DAMAGED......WHAT YOU CAN TRY DOING IS NARROWING DOWN WHICH CYLINDER IS MISSING,YOU CAN DO THIS QUITE EASILY BY STARTING THE ENGINE AND CAREFULLY REMOVING ONE WIRE AT A TIME AND NOTING WHEN THE CAR RUNS WORSE AND WHEN YOU FIND A WIRE THAT DOESN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE ON THE ENGINE WHEN REMOVED THAT'S YOUR TROUBLE CYLINDER,ONCE YOU DETERMINE WHICH CYLNDER IS AT FAULT  YOU CAN ALSO DO THE SAME WITH THE FUEL INJECTORS TAKE ONE OF THE INJECTORS FROM THE NON MISSING CYLINDERS AND SWAP THE TWO IF THE OTHER CYLINDER NOW MISSES CHANGE THE FAULTY INJECTOR!

well thanks a lot! i am prety sure i have found the problem now! i had changed the rotor not too long ago but never changed the dis. cap so now i am prety sure that is what it is! i just bought that today and i am going to try that and see if it fixes it! thanks a lot!!

after i replaced the dis. cap my car was smoking real bad and smelled like it was burning gas what could that be?

thanks for all your help! it helped a lot! i got everything figured out but now more is going wrong with it so i think imma get a new mazda. dont know what yet but i know im getting a mazda! but thanks again!

Sounds to me like you have the wires (firing order) reversed somewhere. It ain't hard to do, especially if you're not used to working around cars.
