Idles roughly, then low when stopped or in park, then dies. Decreasing gas mileage. Slow to accelerate

Sometimes that's caused by a vacuum leak near the manifold area.

Sometimes air in the coolant will cause an idle problem. Air will keep the air temp sensor from sending proper info.
Hope this helps.

Hi,

This is likely to be electrical related.

Your vehicle's On-board diagnostic (OBDII) computer will have stored the applicable fault codes.

Have your computer scanned by your local Mazda dealership (or approved agent) for these codes, which will immediately identify the circuit/component causing this condition.

Cheers,

Your alternator needs to be checked, if it goes bad the car will run of the battery but when the battery gets low the car will lose power and when the battery goes dead the car will just die and not restart. Did the engine even turn over when you tried to crank it if so its probably the alternator. I hope that helps you out!
