EDITOR's NOTE: This fix is NOT guaranteed, it seems to have about a
50% chance of solving your problem. It does NOT work on my 1987 Sport,
but others have had success with it. I personally do not think this is
the cause of the problem. I believe, partially because it worsens in low
temperatures, that it has to do with wear on one or more other
components, or a programming error in the engine management computer.
I happen to know of one 1987 GXL of a newer build date than mine which
does not suffer from this problem. I believe that the problem may be
caused by progressive failure of the exhaust system. I think that as
the exhaust gets older and the front cats start to disintegrate into
the main cat backpressure increases, causing the ports to open early or
late. When I replaced the cats on my car with a downpipe and presilencer
from MazdaTrix the problem promptly vanished.
