my wifes mazda 626 just started loosing speed, and shaking one night. i thought it might be a bad tank of gas so i got some iso heat and ran it trogh the rest of the tank, no luck. the car runs just fine until it completely warms up, then it starts to get sluggesh, speed drops unless you step on the gas and rpm's drop. My thoughts are fuel line clogged, need a new fuel filter, a new fuel pump, or O2 sensor. But i would like you're opinion before i just start replacing everything. Oh yeah the light that looks like a transmission came on a while ago, i think it's the check engine light. Thanks for any help.

That is the check engine light. Before spending any more money, go to an Autozone and get it scanned. Advise us with the code(s).
