I haven't, I wanna say I did when I had a problem with it stalling but I'm not certain.

I replaced the PCV when I replaced the valve cover gasket, but could probably use replacing again. I'll check the air filter it probably hasn't been touched in awhile. PO replaced both cats, I'm not sure about O2 sensors though.

That says possible cause could be misfire so I guess I'll clear codes and change plugs.

Do you think P0172 code could be because of the gas leak?

I finally got around to driving the Mazda today because it was blocking my Jeep. The smoking did stop within 20ish seconds so it does appear it has improved, however, that was with starting it and immediately driving away which some have said helps. Tomorrow night I'll go out and start it and...

Ouu a black P5! I just read threw your thread, I can relate to the pains of burning oil... I guess most here can lol $500 for the new engine sounds like a great deal, send the next one my way!

Or you could get a O2 sensor socket

Well if it was clogged up maybe none of the diesel fuel got to the rings so I'll see if there is any improvement over the next 50ish miles. I'm in no hurry to have a perfect engine so I'll keep playing around with this one before deciding if I want to rebuild it or find one from a junkyard. I...

So I was under the impression that the smoke was definitely improving because I'd have a very light cloud on startup and it'd be done in about 20-30 seconds compared to the 2 minutes I started with. Well, I just went out and started it to see what it'd do now with the 10w30 in it and back to...

I didn't poke a hole in it. Not really heavy. I've never taken a filter off and not had some amount of oil come out.

Finally changed the oil. Not a drop of oil came out of the filter again, so I filled it up with 10w30 and diesel fuel. We'll see how these next 50 miles go.

I'm no master tech but I've learned that lesson over and over. Just the other day I spent the day correcting the brake job that the Ford dealership did on my gf's car, $600 and they've been squeaking and groaning ever since they did it. Hardware was installed incorrectly, slide pins were dry...

Sounds exactly like mine after I disconnected the battery. I would do as pcb said and give it some time.

Will it start if the MAF is bad?

That was almost 2 years ago, I wish I had returned it (simply didn't think about it) and it would've paid for me to buy the car back lol
