Ahhhhhh Mazda


Ok here is the story....
So about a week ago I was driving home from work and everything was just dandy. Well we were about to drive to West Jordan and I needed gas so we stopped at the Maverick by our house and got on the freeway and started driving. My car started making a funny sound so we thought it was the air so we shut it off, well it was so hot we turned it back on and when Jon would try to push the gas down to go fast it wouldn't go it would just stay at the same speed. On our way home my car started shaking. We got home I borrowed a car from my parents because I was afraid it would break down on my way to work. The next day after work I went to the garage to start my car and nothing.... yes nothing. It finally started but would sputter and die. My thoughts were I got bad fuel from Maverick.. lovely.. the car would only stay running if you held your foot on the gas pedal the second you took it off it died.
My dad came over the next day and got it to run. I drove it over to a garage to be fixed. They called me the next day and said I had a sensor fail and not enough air was getting to my engine and it was flooding my engine, and it should be ready to go later that afternoon. They called back and said it wouldn't be ready till Monday. So today they called me and said that with the sensor they replaced my car has to be reprogramed by the Mazda dealership. Then the garage calls me back and says that mazda finished programming it but now its running funny. I called Bountiful Mazda and they guy informs me that this is a problem they have never seen before and they have the Mazda smart guys (i forgot what he called them) are looking at it.. so far what they can tell me is my engine keeps flooding because more gas is going to my engine then what is supposed to and they dont know how to fix it. and to top it all off My warranty expired and i have to pay it all myself. ahhhh i'm so beyond frustrated. grrr
