Hey all, I know its not a Mazda but it is Mazda powered! I bought a 1991 Mercury Capri XR2 with under 110k. It has a problem that I will explain to the best of my abilities. Known issues currently are leaking cam seals and CV axles both are torn.. Have the axles, cam seals, timing belt kit and water pump that will all go in when the time comes..
When driving the vehicle once in awhile the motor loses power.. Its not like a cylinder misfire.. Its like the whole engine just stops making power.. almost like a fuel cut
Last time it happened I had just gotten of the freeway and had started going up a small incline the motor was around 2.5k RPMS not boost when it just stopped making power, I pushed the gas pedal down farther... still nothing. I let off completely then reapplied the gas and it was back to normal... I went two blocks it happened again.. loss of power was for 1-3 seconds
I am thinking Throttle position sensor...
How can I test my TPS?
Any other ideas?
Thanks
