New to the MP3 family

its a t3, the guy i got it from was in atlanta, and before him was missouri. i notice sometimes while the car idles the rpms drop down and then go back up a few times. i need to take it somewhere to c wut they tell me. i'll def. look for a wideband, what kind of difficulty rating would you give the install?

thanx, old one is gone as of yesterday. trust me tho, if i could have in any way possible kept it i would have. mazda proteges ftw
 
hey can you take some shots of the intake manifold. i unplugged mine and forgot how they are hooked up. I don't know ANY local guys that have an MP3. I just need to see where the two vacuum lines on top of the intake manifold on the bracket. In fact it looks like you may even have an MSP intake manifold i never had that little green thing on mine.
 
yea i'll do that for u tomorrow morning. im havin a hell of a time tryin to take this egr valve off tho. the bolts will not budge, n i think im stripping them further. good thing i got some replacements from the dealership. i guess i'll just get a #4 bolt-out socket from work tomorrow
 
I don't know what size it is but usually an adjustable wrench will do the trick. It's gotta be a good one or like you said itll strip. In addition look into spraying it with some PB Blaster. In case you've never heard of it it's a spray that eats away whatever may be keeping it from budging off. I have like three cans, spray it wait 5 min and try again. Good luck and thanks in advance for those pics.

ps-I don't mean to change your subject with the picture I just haven't been able to find help with that.
