Undriveable due to massive flat spot below 5000rpm
-
You never mentioned the misfire before, just a flatspot
-
No you called it a misfire - to me not responding to the throttle at all above idle and then coming in with a bang at 3000 or more revs is a massive flat spot.
One thing I forgot - VRIS was operating, gave the linkages a good does of WD-40 and anything else that looked like it could do with some got a squirt too. That may have helped.

@24751c52fd=macspite:
misfires really badly or doesn't pick up at all when accelerated normally in neutral.

Don't care whether it was a misfire, flatspot - as said at the beginning of the thread or a temporary bout of Mazda flu, the car seems fixed and thank you to all who suggested various things that may have been wrong, very helpful.

Fair enough, but it makes it difficult for us to help you better if we dont know the proper conditions.
