sorted.
hole had obviously got bigger in the air flow pipe over the last few weeks.
wrapped tape round and hey presto it ok

It must be the weather. Exact same thing happened to mine this week!! Taped it for now, but the proper part is 61 quid from mazda!! I guess the air mass is getting an incorrect reading. It went like hell under power though!!

Terminology used in the UK is sometimes different then that used here in Canada.
When you refer to the "Air Pipe" are you talking about rubbery/plastic pipe situated between the throttle body and the Mass Air Flow Sensor and is referred to as (in the 1995 MX3 garage manual) The Air Intake Hose?

Yeah you are correct air pipe = air intake pipe.
