I guess if I got some time tomorrow I'll try letting gravity do the work. But as it stands right now I spent close to an hour trying to bleed it and I still can't put it in gear.

Ok. I was having some problems with my clutch. Seemed like air in the lines. I'd have to pump the pedal occasionaly to get the clutch tp release. So I tried bleeding it. I seemed to get all the air out, but I lost all tension in the pedal. So I removed both the master and slave cylinders and check t...

I had considered leaving the lines as is in the engine bay and joining them under the car, but there was absolutely no clean rust-free tubing under the car that I could make a solid connection with.

I've got new lines from Mazda, all pre-bent. The hard part is at the front of the car where they go up into the engine bay. They run between the fire wall and the driver side steering linkage, if you take off the front driver's side tire you can see the fuel and brake lines running in the gap. it's ...

That was my first guess, EGR. I could have sworn the EGR was on the other side of the engine though, that's why I wasn't sure.

I don't normally do this but...

I'm about ready to set her on fire and get a drink.

While trying to replace my fuel lines I fount this set of vacuum solenoids behind and to the left of the fuel filter (when viewed from the front of the car). They were both hooked up electrically, but no vacuum lines were run to them, just the one in between. Anyone know what they are for? Unneeded ...

Couldn't find anything.

I've had a nasty drip on one of my fuel lines under the car for a while now, and I've finally got around to doing something about it. I'm balls-deep in the swap out now, I've got the tank dropped, all the clips under the car removed, the battery is out, fuel filter gone, and return line in the engin...

Thanks, I'll give that a shot later... might help narrow it down.

could someone explain gapping to me? for a noob like me, bigger gap = more spark = better burning of fuel = better MPG & performance but that can't be right, please explain ^_^ That's right but only half of it. You can only run a bigger gap if your ignition system can make a strong enough spark...

Ok, wierd problem. Started immediately after I rebuilt my front brakes and put new pads all around. It better be a coincidence tho, I didn't touch any electrical in the process. Well, here's the issue. It's annoying as hell. If the car's not running, either door is open, and I depress the brake peda...

Here ya go. The bulb holder I got from ideal supply, woulda been cheaper @ Canadian Tire tho :shrug: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2018/3527928195_1260044174_b.jpg http://www.flickr.com/photos/29622478@N03/3527928195/sizes/l/in/set-72157616196515363/ I just drilled out the center with a step bit an...

My GS has the fugly purple crap on the drivers side, and black on the pass-side, one of the previous owners had a little misshap that required a new pass-side door, I noticed the rasp-metalic paint under the white long before I noticed the difference in fabric.

I don't remember which ones were a little tight, but either the 1156's or 1557's were kinda tight fitting the bulbs through the hole in the taillight housing, I just had to wiggle them a bit. The ones I used in the front were eurolites, and only project forward, not to the sides. They fit fine, but ...
