Well the wires look pretty new i bought the car in February so im not sure how old they are but i did have a code for a crank sensor a few months ago but thank you for the reply
Not sure what you are going for… Two points to make here…
– You can’t judge condition of wires by appearance.
– A bad/going bad crank sensor (or problem in wiring) can cause performance/ignition problems…

I know that newer Mazda cars are very sensitive to dirty throttle bodies and have cured your type of problem by cleaning them quite a few times. It might be some place to start by carefully cleaning the throttle plate and bore as well as the idle air control valve before condemning anything else. Also make sure there are no cracks or splits in the air intake hose between the air filter and the throttle body and that the clamps are tight.
