Take it to a shop immediately! My Tribute did the same thing; manual suggested running a couple of tankfuls of "good" gas through it. By 2nd tank, "explosion" under hood. Ended up being TWO catalyic converters had malfunctioned blowing a hole in a valve. Parts were "nationally backordered" so thinking I'm not the only one having this problem. Jan

It needs professional help. A good independent shop or any Ford or Mazda dealer can help.
