What is your question?
2004 Mazda Tribute Question: No Check Engine Light illuminated but when I start my vehicle and it idles and runs fine for one minute. Then when I press the gas it bogs down and will not exceed 3000 RPM. No power when pressing the accelerator, sounds like its not breathing right.

check for restricted exhaust (low vacuum or MAP sensor reading).
My 2001, had check engine, I pulled over 30 secs. later, it was running rough, apparently the cat.converter was blocking the exhaust, could expel exhaust, so it backed up into the engine and blew a gasket. I saw on YouTube, a mech. checking the pressure before/after the Cat. with a pressure gauge. See if they can check the cat. Jstone-Driver's Ed teacher, my car was 14 yrs old, 172,000 miles. I don't know what to do now.
