Well I was thinking about going Sunday also, but it all depends on the outcome of the recall check-up tomorrow. I've been having bad idling issues as of late, so I may become a member of the new engine club.
Before the Dragon trip I had it stall out on me at a stop light, but started right abck up again. Let the dealer rep know and was told to let em know if it happens again. (this was before the recall infomation became public)
Then about a week and a half ago I really noticed the idle just dropping lower in rpms and it start dying one me more often. About 4 or 5 times it's stalled from it idling way too low, would have been more but i caught a couple time by giving gas in neutral while idling.
Today was the worst occurance though, sitting on a hill (corner of Peace and Glennwood) at a stop light and it sputtered out. After 2 cranks it wouldn't restart. Flooded in 72 font bolded was scrolling through my head. I let ii sit a minute or two (about to dial the last number for mazda service) and tried again. After about 20 seconds of cranking it turned over.
I was a few blocks from the dealership at the time, so I dropped in so the tech or service rep can at least have a first hand look at the tantrum it was throwing. Basically it was "yep sounds like the recall issues, we'll run it through the tests tomorrow and see what comes up."
So if it's not an engine, then I may also join ya'll Sunday.

Anyways, good luck Gary...but with what you just spoke of and the fact you have an auto, you can pretty much chalk up a new engine.

Congrats Nic, wear it out and get another one before your warranty is up, haha. I wish I coulda been on that trip with you guys Jason, I didn't know anything about it though, HINT HINT. Lol.
Also, Freaky Friday at the track this week, "who's comin' with me?" lol.
