Ive heard the same...

Lemme know what u find out...

 

[BRIAN_MP5T]

Ballin! Glad im not the only one running aem on here!

You never were..

FOCUS has one on his car.

 

[big Lou]

I've had one running for two years.... Glad to help JT with the headache!

many thanks again, i need to check that one MAF wire once again tonight but hopefully that's the last bit of wiring for awhile.

 

[JDM_Pro5]

hopefully

 

[bikingpro5]

hopefully

oh i know it is, ill pay someone to fix it now..

 

[Cleverfrog]

Nice updates!

 

[JDM_Pro5]

No kidding. Ride to work was good. Idle only has issues when stopped. Freeway = not a lot of stopping. During lunch I'll be in some fairly heavy traffic and stop lights and get to see how things run. I'll wing by Advance to see what codes I throw today and get a better look at my CC vac lines in the sunlight

LMK how you make out, i still think it is a vac line issue somewhere but ill still send you a solenoid to swap in and try.

 

[JDM_Pro5]

I need a solenoid regardless due to the control runner circuit high/low. I agree on the vac line. I'll find the leak and go back to NAPA for some more sexy black tubing

^ I have that same code!

which selonoid is the one we need?! from where can i get it?

I'm going to drop some quick knowledge on ya.

Mazda used a system of butterflies in the intake manifold in an effort to reduce cold start emissions. The VTCS (Variable Tumble Control System) causes the incoming air to tumble as it enter the cylinder head and intake chamber with the hope of promoting better combustion at cold temps. However, once the engine has warmed up, the butterflies are fully opened yet still sit in the incoming air stream. A very popular mod is to remove these butterflies all together- much like how the Mazda MP3 does not have a VTCS in its manifold.

Those 2 rows of Butterfly valves are controlled by the Control runner arm. If you are looking at your engine bay, on the LEFT side of the intake manifold, down just a bit, is a small metal arm. This is a vacuum ran arm that changes the positioning of these valves.

That's what I did! Except I did it myself lol

me too minus the fancy machining that you did.

Lol fancy on a 30 year old mill. Sometimes the old machines just work better than the new ones

 

[RicoP5]

so if I have that code i just need to replace those colored sensors? until i do the same mod ur doing?

The plugs that go into them are white and green, but yes, they connect to the solenoid

when it comes to machining i believe the older machines do a much better job and are more reliable then the newer stuff.
