2003 Mazdaspeed Protege
Alright so I got a 2003 Mazdaspeed Protege and at high rpms it will cut out then pick right back up. I cant seem to figure out what it would be. MAP sensor? Idk. Its not throwing the CEL.
 
How much boost are you running? Sounds like fuel cut or a failing coil pack/plug wire.
 
Did you happen to find out? My car is cutting out under excessive throttle. My boost is jumping around 7hg-12hg during boost. I do have boost leaks I will be fixing soon, but something tells me it's not related to them.
 
Sounds like fuel cut to me as well. Any idea what your boost is peaking at? I JUST replaced my wastegate due to this same issue. I was spiking 15lb's and fuel was being cut thanks to a broken wastegate diaphragm. I'm a new owner to a 2003 MSP, the first mod I installed was a boost gauge and I about pooed my pants when I saw it spike to 15lbs. With the new wastegate installed, the car pulls as it should and is holding the correct boost pressure.
