What sensor could this be?
so my car usually runs good when its about 55 or below. which is rare, so usually my car is running shitty. it just feels like it lost all of its power and idles really rough, and if i rev up the car high enough i will get a big backfire.
so far i have changed the spark plugs, wires, and got the fuel injectors cleaned. i also made one of those diagnostic lights that flashes and gives you a error code. it came back with no errors.
i was thinking about just taking it to mazda and telling them to figure it out so i know what part to get. i am kinda frustraded here. makes the car really not fun to drive. i am guessing it has to be a sensor???
what do you guys think?
thanks.

sorry i have never done vac lines before. i just took a look at them and it looks like it is going to be impossible to reach some of them. is there a write up anywhere?

Personally I'd buy a couple of cans of starter fluid and with the engine hot and idling as best it can, spray around the engine bay where the vacuum lines are and listen for the engines tone to change. If it changes tone/rpm, then you found a leak. Just fix that area for now.
