2003 Mazda MAZDA6 Engine Problems

“Bought a 2003 Mazda 6 last year, my tachometer kept going crazy and the car would die out. I took it to good year, 3 codes came up. They changed the cam shaft sensor and the EGR valve. That didn't fix the problem, good year took the parts out, put mine back in and told me to take it to a Mazda dealership.
