Best Answer

A strong gas oder and loss of power usually indicates a flooding condition. first of all, check the choke and make sure it is loose and not sticking. Check all the linkage on the carb as well. The air filter may also be clogged. Does it run better with it removed? Check the exhaust as well. You may have a blockage there as well. To try that, remove the exhaust pipe at the manifild and see how it runs. If it's better, replace the exhaust. It may also ne time for a tuneup. When was the last time the plugs, wires, cap and rotor was replaced? Try those things.

Why does my v6 Mazda mx3 lose power when i floor it but when i let off alittle it acually goes faster?

it is nothing wrong with the car. The Japanese use different accelerator gauges than the Americans do (Toyota fiasco) with the Mazda the R9 accelerator gauge is very touchy. If you floor it, the pedal will miss the top speed marker. If you let up, i9t will go back close to the sensor. I know this because my friend had the same problem with his mx3 and when we took it to break cheak, they said it was normal on the Mazda and nothing was wrong with it, 50 bucks for nothing.
