Lack of power, suspect fault due to contamination build-up caused by short stop/start driving.
The fault was cured by adding Forté Advanced Formula Gas Treatment and Forté Specialist Injector Cleaner into the fuel tank.
After treatment it was reported that after 50 miles the engine power and performance were restored.

Engine non-start due to no compression and contamination in oil due to engine not breathing correctly. Customer was quoted £1000 for a new engine by a Mazda dealer.

Oil and filter change was carried out adding another Forté Advanced Formula Motor Flush and flushing for a further 2 hours.
