I have a 2007 Mazda CX7 with 144k on it. I have had more issues than I can count and have usually been able to fix them until this latest issue...
Car has been driving very poor for the past 2-3 months but haven't had a chance to spend time on it (figured it needed a tune up). Been getting two reads from the CEL, P0304 and P2177.
Worked this weekend on it (new coils and sparks). Expected the issues to stop and they did not.
Took it into the shop today and the mechanic said I would need a new engine and he does not recommend replacing it (due to age of car and miles).
He was getting a combustion reading of 80-85 out of cylinder 1 and 4... he put oil in there and was getting a reading of 120... This was his explanation of how it was an internal engine issue and there is not hope for my engine.... He said he could do a carbon clean out (as it is DI) but said he does not recommend as he does not think it would help.
As I was in shock over this, I decided to turn to this forum...
Any suggestions?
