Local in Norway is out of the question knowing that parts here are realy expencive (so much tax uppon tax). And I dont know if I could putt in a JDM K8 becouse of the extra (however small) HP gain. I read on a Norwegian forum that uppgrading to a KL-DE or a KL-ZE would cost around 6000 USD just in t...

What the Topic says realy, hopfully somone knows a good site in Europe or som company willing to ship to Europe. I also wonder if it's possible to buy a new from mazda and what the price would be in USA, Canada or England. In Norway I know it will be way to expencive. I've been searching the interne...

I'm guessing thet the problem is that it is wery tight.? I had the same problem and the only solution I found was to use a LARGE arigun to remove it. There are howewer more dubios aproches to geting it loose, you will find more answers if you search for it but the best way is to buy or borrow a larg...

I'll try adding that to ;) Well I've clened the TB, not the Intake Manifold tho. Test driven it now, and it still alot of smoke when motor braking, but i gues it's actualy wather vapor comming out in the exhost... I'll try cleaning the whole EGR Channel next week. Another problem when the smoke come...

What is the EGR Channel? Solved, jumped ahed of myself, found it in the Online Manual

Ok, the TB is off, and what a mess, oil (black as night) all over the place, mostly old crusted oil that has been there a while. But can anyone tell me what that oil is doing there? I'm not that shure about the working of the TB, I know you controll the air intake there and probobly gas has some par...

Yes it ratles when i shake it, ok i will replace.

IAC? what is that?

And anyone know what the smoking is?

Today I've taken two testrides after adjusting idle. I used the TEN and GND crosower, and adjusted the idle to about 650. When I stoped the engine and took out the jumper i started it again and checked the idle, it read about 650. First ride was fine but after driving alittle i noticed it idled at 1...

couldent it be the valve stem seals? or am i way off?

Ok, thank you all for replying, now for an uppdate. Changed the waterpump and so far so good (exept i changed it twice sinche the first time the store gave me 92-93 pump, dident notice that before i put everything back together again). And i changed the bearing in one pully i felt was cind of dead. ...

1. Seems to me that nothing is touching the water or generator belt, so this leves the drive belt, but there shouldent be anything tuching that.

2. I'll recheck all the hoses, but I'm guesing it may be the water pump!?

3.

4. cool, will check that tomorow.

5. Thank you wery much

First off: Just putt on new gaskets to fix an oil problem i had. Now I've putt the engine togheter again and the problems are these. 1. Funny noise coming from belt side of engine, cind of a schreecing noise. It also smokes (smells like burnt rubber). 2. Drops of water keeps spraing from from somwhe...

Thanks for that shameem, looks like i got an OBDI car. Cant find any such plug near the pasangerside without opening any pannel.

Sorry to bring upp an old thred but... I seem to have the same problem, cant figure out if i have OBDI or OBDII. My car was new in Norway medio 1997. I have the diagnostic connector under the hood. Does anyone know if Europen cars came with OBDII connectors? And does anyone have a picture of the OBD...
