Ok, so I have already spent tons of money on this mazda.
items:
5 injectors
catylitic converter
muffler
4 oxygen sensors
1 maf sensor
k & n air filter
egr valve
radiator
3 ingniton coils
2 coil boots
lower intake manifold
It was running fine until I washed the motor after work, turned it on after I washed it and it backfired a couple of times ,then it stutter like a classic camaro with a 305 motor . I still had to drive 20 miles back home so I got on the highway and it felt like the egr valve was going to pop becuase it has happen to me before,it would stay at 50 with 3-4 rpm's .Got home checked the spark plugs and one spark had oil ,so I figure it was the valve cover gasket and grommets so iI replace it ,only the grill side.
I have the other side too but I figure once I turned it on it was going to work but it didn't,so I need a next step,or do you think by replacing the valve cover gasket,it should work better?
I 've search the internet for answers and I found the mazda forum!!!!
