The error codes are showing A crankshaft sensor malfunction Fuel trim system malfunction Coolant system malfunction Misfire cylinder 1 Misfire cylinder 3 Misfire cylinder 5 Multiple misfire The car has over heated twice due to a leak in a hose which has been fixed. However has recently started losing coolant again with no obvious signs of a leak. In an attempt to fix the hesitation I performed a tune up. However it got worse and worse after I changed the sparkplugs and wires.I discovered Several of the boots had melted inside the sleeve from when the car over heated. This did not start until 3 days after, upon checking it I discovered the front 3 plugs had worked themselves loose. At which point I pushed the back in and double checked every other wire connection. This helped some of the hestitation, a week later the misfiring grows increasingly worse and the check engine light comes on. Showing the previous stated codes. The wires were once again checked but all were still properly connected. I am worried the overheating has caused significant electrical damage. But I want other opinions on other possible causes.

Careful with the parts "cannon" on a car that overheated possible up to in flames with 210,000 miles. Never mind codes. Strong bet this engine has totally had it and would be checking it for compression while it still turns/cranks at all. "melted plug wire boots" OMG - that's way beyond overheating, no coolant or oils can sustain that temp and questionable if alloys everywhere could take that either. See if this is beyond a fix, compression first, T Discretesignals Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Sep 19, 2017, 5:10 AM Post #3 of 3 (1383 views) Re: 99 Mazda millenia - severe misfiring Sign In I agree with Tom. A compression check and possible leak down test is in order.
