Ignition Tune Up

[owenwes]

Any suggestion, I know everyone goes with the ngk wires but I want to do something like new coils or coil relocation because mine keep giving me problems?

I think there is a 1.8 coil conversion some where in here

Found it:
1.8 coil conversion (http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123650373&highlight=1.8+coil+conversion)

Thanks for the suggestion, I think im gonna try it, I recently had my coils replaced because my car was not running right at all and since ive had the new ones its seems like it misfires when I stomp on the pedal so I wanna try summthin differant, im gonna get the wideband sometime soon so i could see whats goin on also.

Is ECHIC289 the right part number at napa for the coil for the 1.8L wireset conversion, I looked up the part numbers that were on the thread and nothing came up?

[jeffmsp]

whats wrong with the stock ignition? Pretty sure the 1.8l swap is just for looks, there is no performance upgrade related to it. People replace their worn out stockers so they think there is, but the stock coil on plug is the best route to go.

[owenwes]

Pretty much for the looks and hopefully for the engine smooth out effect, ive recently had my coils replaced (Driving around with bad coils sucks) and since then my car hasnt seemed to run the same, not only that but it started to do the bad coil thing again but by the time I got my car to the mechanic it started to run normal again but it still doesnt run perfect (Drives very sputtery like the engine misfires when I stomp on the gas it feels like), so I wanted to try out the 1.8 l wireset.

What are all your symptoms? How does the car act at idle. and what exactly makes you think it misfires. Does it feel like the car is actually hiting a wall then going again? If so I would upgrade the WGA to either an ATP or Forge.

could also be an EGR valve too

remember, if you change to the 1.8 coils, you are putting the coils close to a heat source.... it's mounted right above the exhaust manifold! heat is bad for coils!

I was asking about the Idle thinking about the EGR

Here's that how to
EGR Cleaning How To (http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?t=94788)

[jeffmsp]

just unplug the egr altogether (takes 10 seconds) and see if that has any effect on your idle.

[TheMAN]

it won't do anything if it's stuck open, duh!

[owenwes]

Ive cleaned my Egr like 2000 miles ago and I already have the atp wastegate actuator that I changed about 2000 miles ago also, I also have a catless midpipe and ive asked if it was that to a couple members and they say catless is best and there is no going back to having cats unless I get some whelded on. My car has very bad low end torque and when I get into the higher rpms say if I stomped on the pedal then my car like sputters, If I were to do the l.8 convo then id mount them somewhere in the back but it doesnt seem like im doin it now cuz my local pick a part got rid of there 2000 626 which i was gonna get the valve cover from.

Having a Wide Band O2 sensor is really helpful for troubleshooting issues like these. You should really really have one. I know they're pricey BUT, having a turbocharged car and especially modding one, almost "requires" a Wide Band. It's really a must have, for various reasons.

[owenwes]

Is the aem wideband from protege garage a good one, im trying to get it asap, and say if my car is running lean ( Maybe because I used to drive until my gas light came on and that could of messed up my pump by sucking up crap from the bottom of my tank) should I get the walbro fuel pump and new fuel filter? Also im trying to get the ssafc asap.

[HondaEat-R]

Get a new fuel filter. Pump can wait. Yes, AEM WB is a good one.

[owenwes]

Both are in the tank right, i thinks its easier to just change em at the same time, i think im gonna get the wideband first though to see whats goin on, hopefully protege garage could refund me my 200 dollars cuz I odered the nology wires over a month ago to try em out and I never got em, not only that but I ordered two other parts and I got em both in a week, I keep trying to call em and send them emails over there at protege garage but im gettin no reply.
