I am experiencing a malfunctioning number 1 spark plug for my 2001 Mazda Mpv dx. Prior to the check engine light illuminating, the vehicle experiences serious hesitation when speeding up. I live near many railroad crossings and the hesitation is serious enough for me to question whether the vehicle will stop altogether. I have had the check engine light serviced three times. Each time the dealer claims that the number 1 spark plug is cracked. The spark plug is covered by the standard warranty, so the dealer replaces it without question. I am concerned with the situation when my warranty runs out, soon, whether this problem will continue. Replacing the spark plug is not a trivial task. I currently have 39,000 miles on the vehicle and have owned it for 2. 5 years. The standard warranty is 3yrs/50,000miles. I would like a permanent solution to this problem, whether it be replacing the engine or vehicle itself. Thank you. Sincerely, robert plata.
