Looking for a donation.. K8 - KLZE swap owners..

Tunes67 · Post by **Tunes67** » May 8th, 2005, 11:36 pm

Any of you KLZE guys got your stock K8 Throttle body laying around? If so.. and its gathering dust.. would anyone be willing to donate it to me for a good cause? I am currently doing a FAQ on the TB for the DOHC 1.6L, how to adjust it, adjust & test the TPS, IAC & Idle bypass circuit cleaning, etc.. I would like to do a FAQ for the K8 TB as well since its a bit different.. but I dont have one to work with.. anyone feeling generous?

Would need to have the TPS still on it.. doesnt matter if the TPS is good or not.. just need a visual on it.

TIA

Sorry I cant help but have you tried looking in a junk yard?

Yeah I have.. none of the local junkyards have a K8 MX-3 to yank the TB from.. and I am not sure what other Mazda's had the K8 in it to look for.

Also.. this doesnt need to be a permanent donation.. if preferred.. the TB can be easily returned cleaned and adjusted free of charge.. I just need to take pics and write up the how to on it.

Hey, bro. I still have mine on the K8. It's just catching rain outside. I really don't think I'll be needing it. Everything should still work as the engine ran fine while it was in. You pay shipping? I have no idea how much it'd be...

Yeah I can pay shipping.. I'll PM you the info.. you should be able to send it C.O.D. To me since the address you are sending it too is a business.. so you wont have anything coming out of pocket.. I just pay UPS when it gets here. And thanks man

I appreciate the offer and I may take you up on that if I dont hear from Nallboy about his.. I literally have no use for it except just to do the FAQ write up.. Likely after I am finished I will sell it on the buy/sell forum and have the cash go straight to MX-3.com. At least it will be clean and properly adjusted

same TPS as the KL KF...all of the TPS's say "KL02" on them.

BTW: there are already at least 2 decent how-to's on adjusting TPS on probetalk. no link on here tho that i know of

Thanks Gro.. I will look those up.. It just seemed to be a fairly common issue so I thought I would do up a FAQ with pics and such. I already have the B6DE throttle body pics taken and the faq partially written.. just want to go over everything with my local mazda tech so I dont post incorrect info. Should be good to have around I hope. Cheers

Hey, I took it off my K8 last night. I gotta clean it up a little (and drain it), and I plan on shipping it Monday. Sound okay?

Thanks again man

Just want to also say that this is the sort of thing that makes this site great. And one of the many fantastic things about owning a MX-3. I liked my car when I bought it. But the more I get into it.. the more I love it and that is something that doesnt just happen with any car. In the immortal words of Abraham Lincoln (From Bill & Teds Excellent Adventure anyway) "Party On Dudes!!"
