timing chain
I guess a second opinion is a great idea especially since were talking big buck repair. I do get the occasional CIL P0300 code now also. Misfire code. I checked all my intake hoses even thought maybe my EGR valve needs cleaned or replaced, changed plugs, cleaned maf, still idles rough and sometimes long starts. Don't know what to do. Already paid Mazda 98 bucks for them to hook up to the machine just to come back and tell me I need a timing chain and vvt? When I asked the technician how he checked the timing he didn't have an answer. Just that he had a meeting about these engines and drivability problems and to look into the timing chains stretching not allowing the VVT to do its job. So Mazda knows they have issues. But that doesn't mean it could be something else. It won't be the first time I have been misdiagnosed.(jerkit)
