HI!! ive got a 96 mazda 323f 1.5 petrol, its a decent little motor but 2 days ago i noticed it has lost some power and i can feel it jumping forward when cruising in 4th or 5th gear. you can also feel it when the engine is in idle mode...
i have check the wheels and the tyres are ok, also thought it might be the exhaust rattling too much but i think its ok.. i want to say the engine is mis-fireing which would explain the loss of power but if anyone can help shed any light on the subject i would appriciate your help so i know what im talking about when i take it to the garage..
i want to know if you think it will be expensive to fix (the car is only a 96 so not worth spending a fortune on it) or if it is expensive is it just "old age" and could i continue to drive it?
