    timing belt tensioner questios

    Is the timing belt tensioner supposed to have some sort of internal spring or does the slack solely rely on the tensioner spring? I put my timing belt back on yesterday and it seems as though there is too much slack, I bought a new spring from mazda as well. Just doesnt seem like its tight enough.

    Hesitation explored, my solution

    From what I understand the hesitation problem in the MSP is due to a overload of fuel when the boost sensor detects positive pressure. Since the msp was designed to produce 6-7Psi then there is no variable pulse width from the ecu, it simply dumps a predetermined amount of fuel wether you are at...

    Can you change the wastegate without removing the turbo?

    Title says it all. I definitely have a bad wastegate, bought a new ATP one and need to install it. Do I have to remove the whole turbo, manifold and downpipe?

    Changed turbo, low power. Code 0660

    I put another turbo on the MSP today. Engine feels great just drives like a NA. Only code I can pull is 0660 intake manifold valve. Would this cause the severe lack of power? i did a compression test and its 180 across the board. The turbo I installed today seems to have a strong wga so i doubt...

    New MSP owner as of today

    Just picked up a 2003 MSP today and I knew it had issues but didnt know I was in for this. It sounds like the turbo is simply shot. I can hear it spinning down and it sounds like dry bearings. When I rev it , smoke comes out the back, i would imagine the turbo is done. No big deal (I hope) Are...
