Odds are that they effed up the TBelt install...
Thanks John, but the wife brought it in to Mazda dealer and had trans serviced and had them put it on the puter to diagnose and for 90 bucks they concluded that the intakemanifold gasket is leaking causing the trouble, The timing belt install was fine. Plugs were replaced and it runs better now but still has the gasket leak. Gonna get my mechanic to fix that next week for alot less than 375 that Champion wanted. I guess we just forget about tune ups and stuff since the cars these days just start up and you drive them away and take for granted. Gotta keep better records now.

Salty, is it a Ford?
