Aight Folks here is d latest. I took my car to get it tested . The scan showed no codes. I still insisted however that my fuel consumption was a little high so they took out my plugs and examined them. The chief tech said that I was burning good because the plugs looks white. I said O.K. However he said that he finds that the enging is "surging" a bit so they adjusted the TPS and presto the idle smoothed out. The car seems even more responsive but I'm still keeping my eye on the gas guage. The chief tech said that I should lay off the gas a bit and everything should be all right. Mad

So it sems that the culprit was the TPS all along. I thought that it might have been the Airflow Meter which I happened to price from Southern Sales at a rediculous price of $6000.00 Shocked

I kid you not. Would be better to just buy another engine!

How he adjusted the TPS. Question

TurboDrive · Posted: Thu Apr 14, 2005 6:19 am Post subject:

He slackened the screw then shifted it just a little until the idle smoothed out. Smile

Jack the Ripper · Posted: Thu Apr 14, 2005 8:58 am Post subject:

yeah you'd be suprised at how much of a difference that little adjustment makes. Very Happy

jack the ripper, how many sr20s do u smoke stock 4 stock? Twisted Evil

I wanna get the mazda 6 3.0 V6 or the 2.3 turbo but i aint have that kinda money. So all i can afford is a mazda 3 1.6. I already searching around in some roro dealers to bring down a nice Axela (name in Japan). Meh pardner say how the 2.0 mazda 6 burns more gas than the 2.3 version that true?

dragzster · Posted: Fri Apr 22, 2005 10:37 pm Post subject:

^^^yeah, me too but from what meh mechanic was saying is that they all come standard with sequential variable valve timing (SV-T) so them little Mazda3s might be fast! I wanna run them with a Civic SiR, Corolla VVT-i and a Lancer MIVEC to assess the performance. Twisted Evil

Ah yes......finally found the right thread! Mazda! Laughing

Hi all. I have a 323 wagon (PAY). Bought it new 13 years ago. We've (family) been driving Mazda (323 & 626) over 20 years....last 'other' car was a Datsun 120Y.
I would very much like to hook-up with the local Mazda club. Any wagons in the club yet? Wink

Razkal · Posted: Sat Apr 23, 2005 8:09 pm Post subject:

^ay wham boi computer man? nice to have u in de mazda hizouse! Cool

no wagons to my knowledge but u go be de fuss one..any high performance zoom-zooms in de family lineage man?? Wink

Computerman · Posted: Sun Apr 24, 2005 3:02 pm Post subject:

Zup Razkal? Thanks for the warm welcome.
All our cars have been stock. Actually this wagon was my first car....and I just can't bear to part with it. Embarassed

I'd like to do some basic mods (upgrade brakes, better performance, interior etc..) but I can't seem to get the info I'm looking for. I hear so many different stories about problems when modifying. I have no problem keeping the car stock....but I can't get the parts to do so! Mad

What's a man supposed to do?
Whom do I contact for the Mazda Club?

TurboDrive · Posted: Sun Apr 24, 2005 11:41 pm Post subject:

Well five forward say that they have a Mazda club going so I'd say that he is THE MAN that you should be talking to. Laughing
