Problem overview

Some Mazda 929 owners report experiencing performance issues after replacing the distributor cap and rotor, often linked to the use of low-quality or incompatible parts. These issues may arise when high-quality original equipment manufacturer or compatible aftermarket ignition parts are not used, leading to suboptimal engine performance. Additionally, some owners find that failing to test sensors beforehand can result in overlooking other potential causes of poor performance, which may lead to unnecessary expenses. In cases where the vehicle misfires intermittently, thorough checks for misfire issues are crucial to ensure proper engine function.
