Just so ya know I changed:

Spark Plugs (Bosch Platinum 2)
Cap and Rotor
Fuel Pump
Stock Fram Air Filter.

Plug wires have to wait till I fix the leaky valve cover gaskets.
You will probably have to adjust the timing again - and actually, it may be caused by the Bosch plugs. The twin ignitors can cause havoc with certain cars. I'd try swapping back to a standard set of plugs (NGK or Denso are the recommended Mazda fitment) and see what happens. I know that's gonna be a bitch, but hey - you changed 'em once already!
