HELP!! what did I break??

[TheMAN]

you'll have a hard time finding this s*** as it comes only on late model mazdas... plus you won't know where to look on a different mazda

just order Z504-18-741A and don't EVER **** with this s*** again

and if you do want to pull the hoses off, never try to just brute force it off... you gotta get something like a trim remover tool and gently work/pry it off

 

[mx-p5]

Thanks, I'll order that today. I wasn't even trying to get the hoses off, I was trying to get the nut off so I can attach the whole thing to the new intake. Oh well. I'll plug up the lines for now until the new part shows.


Once again, a HUGE THANK YOU TO EVERYONE!!!!!!


My buddy was over lastnight and was shocked to see that you guys had replied within 5 minutes of me posting.

Alright, I searched the PN The Man gave me on onlinemazdaparts.com and it came up with 5 different parts, but, they've all got the same number. Am I safe to order any of them? Is the same part used on all different Mazda motors? Thanks again in advance to everyone!!

You are good to go with that part #. Mazda just used the same part for several apps. If you scroll to the bottom of the page after looking it up you will see an app for the 2.0L

 

[mx-p5]

Well, i sealed the lines with a bolt and hose clamp and unpluged the connector. I've been driving around today and no CEL. Either way, part's ordered and should be here mid next week hopefully!!

Hehe awesome...I still havent replaced it, Ive had no issues with it, still holding strong

 

[mx-p5]

I broke both lines, I wasn't able to fix it, i just sealed it up. So......hopefully it'll be ok till next week!

lol had did you manage that?

 

[mx-p5]

Stupidity. I figured, WTF, i broke one already, but I want that nut off there! So, I set it on the ground, stepped on it flat so it wouldn't break, sneezed, and that's all she wrote.

Alright, problem 2!!1

I had to pick my wife up in my car, and while driving, I heard a ticking start, then, it felt like the car died, but, it was still running idling while driving at about 100rpm, as i reved, it sputtered enough to keep driving, being 1 block from the house, and the power steering felt like it also went out.

Could this due to not having a purge solenoid? I did get a CEL too. It flashes at me

Would replacing the purge solenoid fix this? Or do I need to get out the vaseline and go to the mechanic?

I was about to ask you how does it drive with the lines capped off. Um.. as far as the CEL flashing I dont think that is good at all.

 

[mx-p5]

I drove over 30 miles, then, ticking, clicking, powersteering stopped, and idle dropped to 100rpm and car started to shake and shudder. Drove it that way the last 1/4 mile

What did I just screw up?

Are you sure verything as far as the CAI is tight, clamped, flushed even, plugged in?

good point however I think any issue with that would of camp up early when he was driving... unless he was driving hard then it happened. (only thing I can think of)

He could always reset the ECU and drive it upto like Autozone and hope like hell the CEL light comes on right before he gets their for them to read it. But I'm not sure if i would want to be driving it witha blinking CEL going on.


Edit: If the CEL is blinking does it give of a code like the old school OBD-I system in my truck. Grant it I would have to plug crap in to get the CEL to blink but you never know.

 

[mx-p5]

After looking back under the hood, I did not have the solenoid connector plugged in. And, I was shifting with 5000 being the highest. So, as of now, i just uncapped the hoses, connected the plug and disconnected the batter and pumpeed the brake 10 times and waiting ten minutes to try again

I'll post back in afew to see where she's at

Tylor

 

[mx-p5]

Well, it seems powersteering is normal, but, I didn't move the car, just turned the wheel. As to idle, it seems normal as well, but, the car has a real bad shudder whileidling at all rpm's. So, it's gonna sit in the garage till Monday, then head to the mechanic's on a tow truck. Poop on a stick

Tylor

 

[Korea]

So you plugged it and it was working for a while, but now it's slowly screwing up?

 

[dwpeek]

lol: like a bull in a china shop. I'm not one to talk but sometimes you just have to be gentle with these things. Lots of plastic parts on newer cars. Sorry for your experience.

 

[TreFlip999]

Damn man, all this over a CAI? sorry brother

 

[mx-p5]

yeah, tell me about it. Oh well. I ordered a new purge colenoid, so, just gotta wait on that to show, then, once it's here, install it, then have a towtruck pick me up and take me to a mechanic, where I can hopefully get this covered under warranty.

Fingers crossed
