I'm going to be as thorough as possible with the problems I'm having along with what I've done so far.
Car: 2004 Mazda 3 S 2.3L sedan MTX
Problem: when car is trying to be started whenever, it takes a few too many times for it to finally start. Many people comment on how long it takes. When I take off, the car falls flat on its face in 1st-4th gear as soon as it nears 3000rpm. After a few minutes of driving, the car doesn't fall flat on its face throughout the all gears but seems to not have much power as it should. My automatic 2005 Mazda 3 S 2.3L had more power than this. When maintaining a steady speed it is unaffected after its warmed up for a while. It's acceleration that is badly affected as far as I can tell. The car has been on many multi hour trips without dying or anything. It is not throwing any CELs.
What's been changed out to try to remedy problem: Ignition coils, spark plugs, cleaned throttle body, cleaned maf, checked maf wires visually, purge valve solenoid.
I just want to solve this problem quickly because its annoying. My mechanic can't accurately pin point the problem since no CEL is flipped.
