is it still throwing out those codes with the replaced parts? if not, what codes is it throwing out now?

Maybe your EGR valve needs a cleaning. That usually causes our vehicles to bog down. Sometimes almost stall out at intersections. Here's the how to on it, but thats my guess.....

Yep it is still throwing those codes. Does anyone recommend taking it back to the dealership to have them figure out the problem?

Replace your EGR. I had the same problem. It was "fixed" at a local shop that just replaced the EGR and a gasket that it blew. Then a week later it started having the same problem. Took it to the mazda dealership. Replaced the coil packs, spark plugs, EGR and gasket, and the first cat.

I'd recommend NOT driving on it too much if not driving it at all. Your cat isnt pushing out the Exhaust thats why it is probably glowing orange (mine did) and if you drive on it too much it'll put the cat into meltdown and trash your whole exhaust.

If the only thing that isnt stock on your car is the intake then just buy an OEM one. I've got one i'll let go for 30 bucks.

I just have the stock MP3 intake assembly that I ripped out when I bought my SRI and my dad has been nagging me to get rid of that Stock intake.
You dont have the first cat or do you have an aftermarket header or something? You might be able to find a used stock pre-cat on ebay or possibly search the FS section for one.

You might want to get the number for mazda usa by going to mazdausa.com. I'm almost positive that emissions components are replaced free of charge. Find out for sure though.
