how is your oil consumption?
Possibly do a compression test.
Ever change the PCV valve? ----- Mazda never did.
I don't even know why i'm bothering with this as you say you bought another engine.
How are catalytic converters----semi plugged----are there any cats on your vehicle not minitored with O2 sensor?
Air filter clogged?
Ever put fuel system cleaner in?
Ever clean your throttle body or MAF?
Ever change your fluids?
Without me looking at the engine and you having some knowledge, my advice is just ridiculous!!!!!
It's like trying to explain to a little kid when he says "WHY".
Just take it to a real mechanic, please.
