Mazda 3 Z6 help needed please

Postby dlittlelion » November 7th, 2014, 11:39 am

the car takes a while to start after being parking overnight, or for more than two to three hours, the acceleration is very very sluggish and it struggles to reach 80kmph

Those are textbook symptoms of a failed head gasket. Oil and coolant mixing?
Crank sensor/ cam sensor/ coilpacks are the place to start when you encounter issues with mazda engines. You can test with used units but i always suggest new
