Yes the hose circled in red, i was about to upload a pic but I still have to search the site and see how to do this.

Should i Run a catch can or block it off?
does it affect performance of the vehicle?.

Hi Guys
there is a tube which goes to the air intake, can that be blocked off, is that to bleed of crankcase gases back into the combustion chamber via the air intake?.

could i run a catch can instead? because i think this is for environmental purposes and my car is mostly on the track.

thank you

wow, thank you for the insight knowledge, it was cheaper for me to make the gasket and apply the silkaflex, fits perfect and not one leak.
When i do clean the throttle body i will remember.

cheers

fixed it by making a thick gasket, every OEM gasket i bought from mazda leaked. very wierd screeching sound.



Thank you guys

Thank you guys especially ganue I got it started it was flooded fumes blew everywhere
But it idled n started but I have a loud screech from throttle body I'm guessing its tha gasket
Cause when I spray carb sprayer idle jumps n sound changes thAnks!!!

I will check again for spark incase it is ...

I've today just cleaned all the grounds i could find, pretty much clean and sand then clean again for a better surface. I checked spark plug 6, it was good normal. spark plug 2 was filled with black soot. wierd. throttle body to me smells like fuel. i checked all the wiring everything is connected. ...

Ok let me try this, the battery died When i tried this so i Will recharge and do it again. Some parts of this vehicle are smothered in oil and grime, Could it be the grounding perhaps? I tried looking for the diagram on the technicals page to see where the ground points are on the vehicle, does anyb...

hi we only took the distributor cap off to have a look. That is all, we did not play with the timing at all. all the vacuum hoses are correct according to the diagram for the k8's. the only ground I have found is the one on the intake manifold and that is grounded. spark plug is firing in 1 3 5 2 4 ...
