Hi there, somthing is wrong with my car, it is a 96 mazda protege, and for some reason it has started acting up. It is taking longer than usual to get up to speed, and when it gets around or above 30mph it boggs down and I hae to let off of the gas for it to recover and continue driving. It does this several times while driving.
please let me know if you can help me! Thanks!
