Easy way would be to take your car to a Mazda dealer and have them test the compression with your engine warm...

Get under the car to remove the spark plugs. Its much easier to remove them from the bottom because you have more space to move your hands around and you can see the spark plugs clearly.

I've never used a Rotary engine compression tester but maybe these can help:

Good luck!
