Hey, my 99 Madza Protege has acquired an acceleration problem. I can take off fine into the first 2 gears, however, once it shifts last gear, it starts to get sluggish and lose power around 55-60mph. Then quickly loses speed. I have changed spark plugs, wires, air filter... Please help, I'm so confused rite now.......
When you losing speed, do you lose RPM? This is important. 1- If you don't lose RPM then you have a problem with your torque converter. 2- If you lose RPM then you have a problem with fuel air mixture and this is controlled by ECM. Usually ECM is not a problem, but the problem is coming from other sensors contributing fuel: air mixture control like Air mass flow control ans Oxygen Sensor besides the throttle body valve is gummed up and need a through clean. So try to address the last one first then follow in reverse order if the case is in # 2. Good luck.
Change fuel filter.
