Idle Speed Control Valve Gasket

Post by Tonestire »

Hello everyone, I'm going to take apart my entire intake this weekend and clean it up. I have all the gaskets I need with the exception of the ISC Gasket. Does anyone know where I can pick one up online or possibly know a part number so I can go see if Mazda has any?

Thanks in advance.

Tony

Don't worry about the part number now, just go to your Mazda dealership and tell them what you need. I wouldn't mess with any online company gaskets. I did a gasket from Autozone for my valve cover when I painted it and it's leaked ever since... got one ordered from my Mazda dealer cause everyone says origional Mazda quality is the best for these cars.
It might be slow, but it's not a civic!

To my knowledge I dont think you can get this seal from anyone but Mazda anyway.. Are you talking about the little rubber seal that goes between the 2 halves of the throttle body? If so.. when you go to your Mazda dealer.. ask for the Idle Bypass Seal for your year, and engine type.. that should get you the right seal. Best of luck.

Thanks so much for the help and replies. Yes it is the rubber seal that is in between the throttle body. I want to rip everything apart and clean it up and in the Chiltons manual it says replace rubber. It seems everytime I take something like this a apart if I dont have spares something rips, murphys law I guess. I called mazda today and the part will be in Thursday. I hate ordering anything from dealer, the damn piece of rubber is $24 bucks but couldnt find it anywhere else.

Thanks again for all your help.
