It looks like a recurring theme.... everybody gets so wrapped up in modding the car that the money goes there instead of into routine maintenance costs.
So you buy your new (to you) MSP and then find out the radiator is patched, the belts are frayed, the bushings are shot, rotors are warped, and the welds are broken....

Get your hands on the Canadian version EGR valve and replace your stock one with it. The stock EGR valve sucks balls. A member on here found that the Canadian version is much better in design and a lot less prone to fail like the piece of crap we have in our cars.

You have to figure out a way to get a socket around those bolts and get them out. You can contact Jason at onlinemazdaparts.com about a new unit.

could somebody show me a picture of exactly where they mounted a vacuum block on their msp? my dad is suggesting that i mount it on the firewall but i'm not sure if that's really necessary or what?

I thought this was the "What have you done to your MSP today?" thread? Sounds like it's turning into the "Post whatever you want, especially troubleshooting questions that should go in the MSP Car Problems & Help section" thread.
, and nephew thought I'd would be funny to roll one tire down a hill and across the street... Rascally kids!!.Ricktalife

was that directed towards me?
LOL I had my car in storage for a good while and had to keep pushing the car started every where. I thought it just needed to be charged so I kept trying to drive on it to charge it but not even after leaving it all night on a trickle charger did it hold the next day. It started once or twice and that was it.
