While pulling into my driveway, I was braking to park while the automatic transmission was still in drive. Suddenly, the engine started to rev on its own, while my foot was on the brake. The tachometer started reading in the danger zone, and the engine was revving out of control. White smoke started to come out from under the hood. I was able to put the car into park and turn off the engine. It was quite a frightening experience.

2 Occurances in 3000 miles of engine loosing power, then starts to buck above 3500-4000 rpm. This first happened on the freeway and it was difficult staying out of the way of traffic until I could exit. The second occurance was after I had exited the freeway onto a 2 lane. I then drove 30 miles to home. Both times it was ok the next morning. Dealer cannot replicate the problem. Several owners of this model car (2004 mazdaspeed miata )have had this problem as reported on www.Mazda-speed.Com forum.
