Re: EVAP "Separator" rusted: bypass or replace????

Well, I don't really know how much room you have to work with, but this is my idea.

I would get a pvc pipe and thread holes in the side at different lights to attach the lines you have.
Cap both ends, put the tank port at the bottom and the other two near the top.

Well, that is assuming pvc can ...

Re: Uhh...what the...! Do I have to remove the heads for this?

Yup, I bent mine to get it out.

So was the valley just open and without a cover on engines built after 93?

Re: high idle

Mine was idling high and I could not adjust the idle down because the vacuum hose on the pcv was a terrible fit and very loose. I replaced the hose and now my car idles as it should.

And by the way, I may have missed it but I don't think you guys ever mentioned actually trying to turn the idle down ...

Re: Which side of the engine is "right" and code 23

Thanks guys.
This is definitely something new to me, I have always seen the cylinder banks labeled left and right from the front of the engine.
I guess Mazda had their own ideas on that one.

Its a good thing I checked before I just replaced the front o2 sensor for codes 23 and 24...

Any sources ...

Re: Which side of the engine is "right" and code 23

I looked through the manual for something to identify which bank is which, but to no avail...
Any idea where it might say?

Re: WTB: Front Struts parts

What about rear strut parts?
Can I get the top mounts, isolators or whatever you call them

Re: Which side of the engine is "right" and code 23

K, thanks guys. I was under the same assumption too.
But, to make sure I disconnected the front o2 sensor and it threw a code 17, which is for the left bank.

I also was reading through something else in the online factory repair manual and it said the egr tube bolted into the right exhaust manifold ...

Which side of the engine is "right" and code 23

Well, my 92 gs threw a code 23
what would you guys recommend checking?

And like the title says which side of the engine is the right side?
I mean the engine is mounted sideways, so I see a front and rear sensor...

Thanks,
Jon

Re: Fuel Issue???

There really is not any way to adjust the timing belt without tearing the engine down to the belt and moving it, unless you have adjustable cam gears.
But, if the timing belt was off a tooth or two you would know it by how terrible the engine runs...

The ignition timing is another story.

Re: [WTB] knock sensor

Hey I have a complete motor that I just pulled out. Ill pull the knock sensor if you are still looking for one.

[WTB] Fuel pressure control solenoid

Hi, I just bought an mx-3 that needs some work and one of the first things that I noticed is that it's missing a solenoid.
So, I need a Fuel Pressure Regulator Control Solenoid.
I'm in Northern California 96003, and am sure I will need more parts to come (like a front bumper)

Thanks,
Jon
