How old/dirty is your engine oil and oil filter? Perhaps it just needs a new filter and fresh oil.
Cause I had the same issue last night going uphill, and so changed oil/filter this morning and feels lot smoother now.
No, haven't cleaned the engine at all since we bought it last June/July.
Seems like spark plugs seem to pop up fairly often as problematic.
Thanks, I have read something similar to this elsewhere.
Pretty much describes what is happening.
Thank mate, I'll pull the plugs soon and have a look.
I'll look around for this elm327 reader and app as well.
Thanks, another thing to check. I remember I had crappy earths on a previous car and it did weird things.
Oil and filters are 3,000km old. Oil is Motul, filter is oem.
Haven't had a chance to look at this, and this morning it happened again.
120 km/hr in 6th, light acceleration and it started carrying on, together with the fluttering noises in engine bay coming from drivers side.
Will just bite the bullet and book it in with my regular workshop (Brisbane Tuning & Turbo), not Mazda.
Did they resolve it?

Haven't booked it in yet, I'm away for work.
Get back in just over 2 weeks so will book it in then.
They are a 10-15 minute walk from my office so it's really convenient having them close by.
What fuel are you running mate?
Shell 95 usually. Can only think of one fill up that wasn't v-power but that was last year.
A lot of people would argue that you should run 98.........maybe give it a try and see if it still does it.
Would try to do the cheap things first and one at a time. I would also suggest cleaning the MAF sensor as that thing gets real dirty
unless im fully losing my mind... mps 6 ( for context)
i got some new tyres. fronts were not thattt bad but i changed them..
now i have no stutter/ hesitation..!!
i think maybe as boost came on strong i might have had maybe 1-5% gripless?? and it was causing the traction control to kick in for 1 millisecond.. never noticed the light tho.. weird as
haha could be. Hopefully that's what it was.
Yeah doubt that was it. When I bought our car the dealer had put a cheap set of chinese tyres on the front.
It takes a fair bit of stick to get the traction control light to come on.
I haven't booked this in yet, been running around for home reno's and looking at a potential relocation to north QLD.
Went for a drive the other day down to Surfers and back, car performed perfectly. Next tank of fuel I'll try 98 to see if that makes a difference.
sorry my issues only happend 2- 3 gears not really 4 5
Damn it, it happened again today after a few months of flawless running on 98.
Can you guys recommend a elm327 obd reader that's compatible with android? There are heaps on ebay at the moment.

I used to use one like this
Pulled the plugs on Friday and they were black black but no cracks. Threw a new set in for the hell of it and stretched the coil springs and so far so good.
