    I am wondering if anyone can report whether or not they have experienced carbon buildup on intake valves in 2017 or new GDI Skyactiv engines. I am trying to determine whether or not Mazda engines are susceptible to this issue. Some of what I've read suggests Mazda "solved" this problem, but Ive...

I don't drive it all that much (the odometer just turned 2000 miles) and since I am planning a road trip next weekend, i thought it would be a good idea to check the tire pressure.
